Wood fire pizza oven

Went to a BBQ over the weekend and some had one of these things made by himself :eek:

Just like the ones you see in greece/Asia etc etc. Truly awesome pizza's cooked in 45 seconds and tasted about 10X's better then Dom's or pizza hut.

Any fellow OCUK have one of these or thought about building one? This one cost the hose circa £2000

Good fun cooking on it though

EDIt pics for you

If I ever get my own house , then I will be building one. Loads of plans on the net on how to build them, so you dont need expensive kits. Just some fireproof stones and clay.

£2k was self built apparently those heat proof bricks are £2.50 each and they used over 200 IIRC I may of had a few at this point

Maybe he was bigging it up! He did say he totally under estimated the work involved init. Either way it was a great thing to have at a party

Would love one but then i'd eat pizza all day every day which might not end well...

I think the prep work that goes into getting it hot would maybe stop you eating it everyday

Doesn't it all need to be special fireproof material though?

Heatproof bricks to spread the heat around apparently.

Looking around on the web 2-3K is a good benchmark mark figure

why the jacket? It looks warm.

Was freezing soon as you left the pizza oven!

Acidhell No idea Re cost of brick just what I got told , maybe quality of bricks or regional differences ? Unsure as I didn't build it but either way it was impressive in my eyes anyway

If you do build one can I have an invite please :cool:
