    We use a 16" perforated aluminum peel to scoop the pizza from the preparation area and put it in the oven, an eight inch turning peel and a wire brush to sweep the oven floor clean after moving the fire to the side. I do have an old fireplace poker that comes in handy while manipulating the fire.

    I bought a dozen 12" pizza pans and a few 16" pans that come in handy whatever is cooking in the kitchen. I got an 18" piaea pan that we cook various things in, including a big turkey on occasion. A cast iron dutch oven cooks a roast real well too. HTH

    If you are thinking about building a brick oven, my advice is Here.

    I try to learn from my mistakes, and from yours when you give me a heads up.

      Thanks, do you use gloves or are your tools long handled?

        I have a long glove that is seldom used.
