@GardenFork As you lay the bricks use mortar in between all gaps as if you are bricklaying with mortar on all joints do the rebar and use mortar there as well and let it dry for a day then roll the barrel after cement/mortar sets dry. There bricks will all be one piece and nothing will fall and last for long time
Hey, I'm from Morocco. I just want to say that this barel pizza oven is impressive. It's such a creative and practical idea. I bet the pizzas come out with an amazing flavor. Great job! ❤😍🇲🇦
Hallo from South Africa! I was searching UA-cam for videos on how to build an outside bread oven. Bread prices here in South Africa are through the roof. My husband and I bought a game farm in 2020 (we are both in our late fifties). We bought the farm to “get back to basics” and start being more sustainable. Your video was SUPER helpful and I am beyond excited to build this oven with my husband. Thank you! From the bottom of my heart - you have helped in making one of my goals a reality.
I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?" 76 He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times. 78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways. 81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times. 88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders. 92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come; and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified. 99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations." 102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." .....2 Esdras 7:75 ,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Love your pizza oven obsession. In fact when I built my oven several years back your video was what made me change my cook surface out to old red clay bricks and it was a game changer so thank you. I love that your constantly trying new things and that when you mess up you leave it in the video so that others can learn from your mistakes.
Warning!! Make sure you know what the drum previously contained. Several decades ago, when I started a new job at an aircraft facility. In northern California, a man built a 55-gallon drum into a grill. At the first barbecue, a few people died, and others were severely injured from the inhalation of the toxins that had absorbed into the metal container.
No, back then, the EPA rules weren't as stringent. 55 gallon drums were just stamped with contents. He had permission to remove it from the company property.
Do you have something against tack welding the metal to the drum? That would fix all your problems. And if you coat the brick with fire mortar, it would add more heat resistance and hold the brick still. Great ideas otherwise.
I'd have drilled rebar sized holes and pushed it through. Then the bar could have been capped on the outside..trying to weld rebar to old tin may not work too well.
"Fire mortar," this is new to me and exciting to hear about. If i would walk into a hardware store would the bag of mortar say "fire mortar," or what words would i look for to get some that handles high heat? I see his weathered bricks and think of my fire bricks it would be nice to coat them over with a nice smooth clean layer as well, but i alway see warnings about the possibility of material like concrete exploding from steam spots so have stayed away from that.
Your pizza oven is great Eric. I love that it is so simple and weld free. If the barrel warps or burns through you can swap it out. Same goes for the bricks and rebar. You could even transport it upside down if you wanted to have pizza night at a mates place. Brilliant! I will be stealing your idea and making one in the new year!!!👍😁
Like the idea. I would recommend an old trick I saw overseas to glue bricks in a fireplace. Mix clay with sugar, and water. The clay jams and stick to the brick and after it is dried and heated the sugar oozes out and completes the joint. It worked in my oven and never cracked. The exposed sugar gets burnt away. Try it!
I cried when you held the pizza vertically..as a man who has worked in many a pizza place including several woodfired spots, my zaasperience knew you lost all ur toppings..
Dual purpose, larger oven, useful for a bread oven, tip, order a BBQ Thermostat for a temp guide, I've sort of refined it, started with barrel too, now moved on to a 36" 1/2 wall pipe, welded door to it, welded a support to hold a cast iron griddle on top. And a roof structure of clay tile. It's a great outdoor canning, baking, whatever appliance now.
Maybe make the rebar longer, go through the barrel walls and then use cotter pins at the end of each piece of rebar on each side. It would be very stable.
Hi Erik, thanks for sharing your video. Using a large concrete pipe, i built a similar piza oven 6 ft in diameter. The bigest chalenge was to roll the pipe 1/2 a turn, with the help of three man and a car jack. It woked well for 10 years and now i am renovating the front. Cheers from Australia, Alberto.
I was so excited for you as you turned it and it worked. I love that you shared the process, even though it was messy. That is important as we learn and make. I love it!
Your pizza oven is great Eric. I love that it is so simple and weld free. If the barrel warps or burns through you can swap it out. Same goes for the bricks and rebar.

The fire chamber in the bottom prevent the heat to rise, leaving your Pizza top undercooked. The general idea is a refreshing departure from everything out there, yet you didn't yet master the full context of what makes a truly great Pizza. Heat retention within the cooking chamber is the ONLY factor and that's the reason every wood burning oven has the combustion chamber on the baking stone. 25 years ago I designed a similar oven that actuality functions with the burning chamber below. It was finished in less than 6 hours using 72 fire bricks 2.5" thick and 12 fire bricks 1.25". It was convertible 3way oven: a Pizza oven , a grill and a rotisserie able to accommodate 2 turkeys, 5 chickens, a whole pig or a whole lamb...
Couldn't you just leave a gap at the back and have the fire there so the heat can reach the top of the pizza? Would be really interested in seeing the plans for your design
Eric!!! Anyone can throw money at a project and succeed, but you my friend are the king of innovation! I love the fact that you are not afraid to try something! Thanks for your video!
man, you did not think about it for one second and try every idea that pop-up on your head while filming. that's Amazing. But I'm really satisfied with the result. thanks for sharing this.
I loved this video! I have been thinking of different ways to make an oven like this. Pizza and breads are my main interest. This design is a great place to start. Thank you!
Enjoyed watching the build on the new pizza oven and thanks for the idea! I think instead of rebar I might use all thread to stop any spreading wider in the middle as the barrel gets thinner
Brilliant!! I was thinking about how to fit bricks into a bathtub built oven what can hold the bricks. He gave a very simple and effective method to do it.
It would be easy to use clay or fire cement to glue the bricks into their places. One could also create a smoother surface with less gaps for the dome of the oven. And by spot-welding the rebar in place the entire construction would become “earth quake-proof”… Doesn’t cost the earth, but would improve the stability significantly. Waddaya think ?
Very cool, like watching your fun loving, down to earth style. Would recommend you put a single large, flat surface on top of the bricks, so you can put the pizza on the flatter, smoother surface.
Erik, you would appreciate the new T-Shirt I just bought for myself... It says: "I'm pretty confident that my final words will be: 'Well, shit, that wasn't supposed to happen!' " 😂🤣😂
it's very far from perfection and cooking chemical paint on the outside of the barrel is a very bad idea...the fumes are extremely toxic. If you want use an oil barrel for that, strip the paint first, then use the bare metal barrel or create an outer insulated layer to cover with a thermic paint for ovens. The way he did can create serious problems if fumes are inhaled and even to food cooked inside, if released fumes are moved by wind inside the barrel.
Super cool DIY pizza oven. Now the hard part. My advice as a pizza guy is to keep the fire burning so the flames are reaching the top of the barrel in the back, then rotate the pizza every 30 seconds or so as the crust cooks. Oh, and learn how to make ur own dough with the right hydration. And then how to proof and lastly stretch the dough. Real simple stuff. Haha. I think the general public has no idea how hard it is to make great pizza consistently. We can talk sauce another time! Haha
To cook the top that’s the job of the flame. The preheat of the bricks cools the bottom. May I suggest couple small pieces of wood before you put in the pizza . Great job. Welder would have been handy to tack the rebar but you came up with a good fix . Enjoy love the video.
You need the flames coming up the back, thats what melts the chees on top. You should be cooking before the flames die down....very nice. Did it last??
Even “real” brick ovens I’ve seen folks hold the pizza higher toward the ceiling at the end of the cook if the top of the pizza needs more cooking. This is So Cool! I’m gonna give it a shot. Thanks! New watcher. Subbed
This the best oven idea I've seen yet! Thank you for sharing! I wonder if a pizza stone with an eye hook might be easier to pull it out with. You could make a hook so you wouldn't have to worry about getting burned.
awesome idea! also, you can add chimneys for keeping the fire burning higher (1 air intake, 1 air out) and also making the barrel shorter, just a couple of inches larger than the pizza platform so you get fire on the back of it but not that deep. Regards from ARG PD: your wife was happy about it, she never told you "stop playing around!" or smn like that, how did you do that??
I like the way you used your mind just to have a unique oven made of drum. I know it's a nice idea to bake pizza and cake using your unique oven. The taste will be yummy
the key of a fire wood pizza oven is to be able to cook simultaneously the top and the bottom of the pizza you need to build a fire also where the bricks are so that the flames will run over the top acting like a broiler and then you will have perfect pizzas!!! cheers
Спасибо их России) Я почти не понял то что вы говорите, но было очень приятно смотреть ролик!!! Эрик, вы честный и приятный человек, делаете все с душой. Удачи в ваших делах
From all the pizza oven I seen build this is the best and cheapest ever👍I wonder if the break is necessary?👍👍I wonder a 76 years old lady can make it too ?
I think we have the same mad mind 😆 I was practically screaming use washers ha ha ! The bracket was a great idea !!! I'm waiting for my slice 🍽 please 🙏
Rebar has mercury lead and other toxic elements in a high enough volume to be of concern for food preparation. I suggest looking up the materials data sheet.
You could drill holes in each of the sides you put the reward in...in otherwords the holes hold the rebard,reward, hold the bricks in place..then u could put a big grill in there..
Cool job! You should poll the temperatures (max) of the bricks and the time span it drops by 50°C with no flame (or minimal flame on the end of the barrel). Then think of a better insulation, and a way lo limit the dispersion of the bottom flame cause it seems you need a very big fire and still it doesn't perform very well.
Thank you for this info..Can also be used to bake in..Bread, Biscuits, cakes, pies Wonderful Thank you very very much..On its side creates larger baking Area Well Done
Good idea, but perfectible: a wood-fired pizza oven must have the fire that touches the refractory vault to reach 400 degrees above and 300 below, so the fire must be done directly on the hob, on the side opposite the exit. of the fumes. When you have reached 400 degrees above and 300-350 below put the pizza for 60-90 seconds and it is cooked as the Neapolitan tradition requires. if you cook it more slowly at lower temperatures you have a greater evaporation of water and to reach cooking it takes time and becomes hard while the ingredients of the sauce dry too much. it is advisable to cook the pizza with a quick heat hit at temperatures of at least 350 degrees to avoid this inconvenience. depending on the type of dough it may be more appropriate to increase or reduce the temperature, but rule n ° 1 for cooking thin pizzas and focaccias is the higher the temperature and the better the result, below 250 ° we only cook cakes, bread and dishes
I would be concerned about the safety of cooking food inside a metal drum. What was previously stored inside of it? Also, the different metal parts might release toxic fumes at high temperatures.
That's why you do several burn offs before letting any good go into it. It gets rid of paint fumes and anything that may have been contained within. Our ancestors cooked everything inside metal stoves remember - steel / cast iron - it's all good.
I should have done some welding or piercing inside and saved a bit of time and strength. Get ready for next version. And make the size of drum half. Keep all moveable at the inside. Easy to disassemble and take anywhere you like.
you can put a bunch of smaller tricks of hardwood to get a quick rolling fire right before you cook your pizza. If you see flames on the top creeping towards you, you know your airflow is good and it will roast the cheese like you mentioned. An exhaust port/chimney a little inset from the opening in the front can help in general with flow but mostly prevent burning yourself. Seems well enough though, just need to weld and mortar and add some legs and it would be pro.
I am going to look up your other videos for pizza ovens and cooking. I love outdoor cooking. I love your approach and attitude toward a project. Your like Edison and Tesla; find the ways don’t work quite right to find the way that’s works great.
Awesome build idea. Id say the only addition id implement would be a door (as most commercial / domestic pizza ovens have) which will keep the heat in and a more even cook - Great effort tough.

As you lay the bricks use mortar in between all gaps as if you are bricklaying with mortar on all joints do the rebar and use mortar there as well and let it dry for a day then roll the barrel after cement/mortar sets dry.
There bricks will all be one piece and nothing will fall and last for long time

I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?" 76 He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times.
78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways.
81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times.
88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders.
92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come;
and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified.
99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations."
102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." .....2 Esdras 7:75

He's provably just not familiar with welding and using the tools and skills he has on hand. Seamed to work out well as a prototype.

Make a turnbuckle with all thread. Would basically be adjustable rebar
Your pizza oven is great Eric. I love that it is so simple and weld free. If the barrel warps or burns through you can swap it out. Same goes for the bricks and rebar. You could even transport it upside down if you wanted to have pizza night at a mates place. Brilliant! I will be stealing your idea and making one in the new year!!!👍😁

I thumbed up after that. Pure knucklehead move that I as well have done inadvertently.
That was hard to watch.. logic - page not found
Welding and mortar would have helped out a lot. This video reminded me of the 3 stooges trying to build a pizza oven.
Dual purpose, larger oven, useful for a bread oven, tip, order a BBQ Thermostat for a temp guide, I've sort of refined it, started with barrel too, now moved on to a 36" 1/2 wall pipe, welded door to it, welded a support to hold a cast iron griddle on top. And a roof structure of clay tile.
It's a great outdoor canning, baking, whatever appliance now.
I envy the picture that made in my head!
Maybe make the rebar longer, go through the barrel walls and then use cotter pins at the end of each piece of rebar on each side. It would be very stable.
Why? Lots of heat loss. Jmho

Brilliant!! I was thinking about how to fit bricks into a bathtub built oven what can hold the bricks. He gave a very simple and effective method to do it.
Its cute that his wife shares his excitement and madness. Bless them both
Enjoyed the video. For more top heat I suggest a door of some sort to close off the front of the cooking area.
I love this. It's like someone collided Adam Savage and AvE together at high speed and told the result to make a pizza oven.
Great stuff.
Yeah! Eric.
It would be easy to use clay or fire cement to glue the bricks into their places. One could also create a smoother surface with less gaps for the dome of the oven. And by spot-welding the rebar in place the entire construction would become “earth quake-proof”… Doesn’t cost the earth, but would improve the stability significantly. Waddaya think ?
Your dogs either think you’re a genius or a crazy man 😂 love the content, great work.
I appreciate that
great job and great video, im gonna make one about half barrel length, and a Smoke stack in back
Very cool, like watching your fun loving, down to earth style. Would recommend you put a single large, flat surface on top of the bricks, so you can put the pizza on the flatter, smoother surface.
The bricks make the dough crusty. Putting something would negate this desired effect.
I've had a drum sitting in my garden for almost two years drum rebars and bricks pizzas bread and bbq here I come thanks dude
I love this! I made a pizza peel last year but used it in my regular oven. This would level up my pizza game for sure!
Yeah! Eric. 😀
This is the first time I saw your videos, I think you're so clever and funny guy. You have a new subscriber from Mexico
I wish we were neighbors. Well done sir. Thanks for sharing your idea.
Hola muy lindo su proyecto!!!
Saludos desde Buenos Aires argentina ❤❤❤
Erik, you would appreciate the new T-Shirt I just bought for myself... It says: "I'm pretty confident that my final words will be: 'Well, shit, that wasn't supposed to happen!' " 😂🤣😂
Exactly! Thx Donna. Eric.
Te felicito me encanto !! Desde Entre rios Argentina ya voy hacer uno igual!!!!
This is really cool, Eric! Well done! The crust looks perfect. 😃
it's very far from perfection and cooking chemical paint on the outside of the barrel is a very bad idea...the fumes are extremely toxic. If you want use an oil barrel for that, strip the paint first, then use the bare metal barrel or create an outer insulated layer to cover with a thermic paint for ovens. The way he did can create serious problems if fumes are inhaled and even to food cooked inside, if released fumes are moved by wind inside the barrel.
@@ragnarrlobrok244 okay, but perfect crust is subjective.
WOW , great idea man . I've seen others do this in the Middle East, free pita bread ovens.
Super cool DIY pizza oven. Now the hard part. My advice as a pizza guy is to keep the fire burning so the flames are reaching the top of the barrel in the back, then rotate the pizza every 30 seconds or so as the crust cooks. Oh, and learn how to make ur own dough with the right hydration. And then how to proof and lastly stretch the dough. Real simple stuff. Haha.
I think the general public has no idea how hard it is to make great pizza consistently. We can talk sauce another time! Haha
To cook the top that’s the job of the flame. The preheat of the bricks cools the bottom. May I suggest couple small pieces of wood before you put in the pizza . Great job. Welder would have been handy to tack the rebar but you came up with a good fix . Enjoy love the video.
You need the flames coming up the back, thats what melts the chees on top. You should be cooking before the flames die down....very nice. Did it last??
Love this video ! Best UA-cam alive to date ! Showing everything going wrong is intoxicating! And real
Even “real” brick ovens I’ve seen folks hold the pizza higher toward the ceiling at the end of the cook if the top of the pizza needs more cooking.
This is So Cool!
I’m gonna give it a shot. Thanks! New watcher. Subbed
Try tacking an extra short piece of rebar at the end of the 2 to make a rectangle to keep the individual pieces from falling.
Parabéns pelo vídeo meu amigo
This the best oven idea I've seen yet! Thank you for sharing! I wonder if a pizza stone with an eye hook might be easier to pull it out with. You could make a hook so you wouldn't have to worry about getting burned.
Great job love it
My question is can I build gas oven exactly
It’s a good prototype and it gave me some ideas. Thanks.
Really cool idea.
Glad you think so! Eric
awesome idea! also, you can add chimneys for keeping the fire burning higher (1 air intake, 1 air out) and also making the barrel shorter, just a couple of inches larger than the pizza platform so you get fire on the back of it but not that deep. Regards from ARG
PD: your wife was happy about it, she never told you "stop playing around!" or smn like that, how did you do that??
Thats great thanks for share ,igual watching from Guatemala god bless you
I like the way you used your mind just to have a unique oven made of drum. I know it's a nice idea to bake pizza and cake using your unique oven. The taste will be yummy
the key of a fire wood pizza oven is to be able to cook simultaneously the top and the bottom of the pizza you need to build a fire also where the bricks are so that the flames will run over the top acting like a broiler and then you will have perfect pizzas!!! cheers
Love it! So simple n achievable.
Great job.
Спасибо их России)
Я почти не понял то что вы говорите, но было очень приятно смотреть ролик!!!
Эрик, вы честный и приятный человек, делаете все с душой.
Удачи в ваших делах
Excelente, buena idea. Ahí lo voy hacer. Felicitaciones y saludos
E excellent production. Fabulous work !
From all the pizza oven I seen build this is the best and cheapest ever👍I wonder if the break is necessary?👍👍I wonder a 76 years old lady can make it too ?
I think we have the same mad mind 😆 I was practically screaming use washers ha ha ! The bracket was a great idea !!! I'm waiting for my slice 🍽 please 🙏
when I manage to not dump the cheese on the slider thing, i'll make you one. thx!
Mine is about to finish. I made in barrel but used fire bricks and insulation. The outside is made with tiles.
You could drill holes for the rebar and let it protrude on both sides maybe?
I did that for the first barrel video, my concern was the rebar would slide out the holes during the tilting process. Thx!
Rebar has mercury lead and other toxic elements in a high enough volume to be of concern for food preparation. I suggest looking up the materials data sheet.
You could drill holes in each of the sides you put the reward in...in otherwords the holes hold the rebard,reward, hold the bricks in place..then u could put a big grill in there..
More of an art object of beauty than practical. ❤️
Thank You God Bless You and Your Family
Cool job! You should poll the temperatures (max) of the bricks and the time span it drops by 50°C with no flame (or minimal flame on the end of the barrel). Then think of a better insulation, and a way lo limit the dispersion of the bottom flame cause it seems you need a very big fire and still it doesn't perform very well.
Thank you for this info..Can also be used to bake in..Bread, Biscuits, cakes, pies Wonderful Thank you very very much..On its side creates larger baking Area Well Done
Lo mejor del video fue ver la alegría en el rostro cuando vio que su idea funcionaba. Gracias por compartir, lo voy a intentar
I'm so happy for your new pizza oven success and for me because I'm going to make the same exact same Pizza Oven you did great idea. :)
Yeah! Eric.
Good idea, but perfectible: a wood-fired pizza oven must have the fire that touches the refractory vault to reach 400 degrees above and 300 below, so the fire must be done directly on the hob, on the side opposite the exit. of the fumes. When you have reached 400 degrees above and 300-350 below put the pizza for 60-90 seconds and it is cooked as the Neapolitan tradition requires. if you cook it more slowly at lower temperatures you have a greater evaporation of water and to reach cooking it takes time and becomes hard while the ingredients of the sauce dry too much. it is advisable to cook the pizza with a quick heat hit at temperatures of at least 350 degrees to avoid this inconvenience. depending on the type of dough it may be more appropriate to increase or reduce the temperature, but rule n ° 1 for cooking thin pizzas and focaccias is the higher the temperature and the better the result, below 250 ° we only cook cakes, bread and dishes
When rolling the oven I found that by adding 15 bricks as a counter balance really helped .
I would be concerned about the safety of cooking food inside a metal drum. What was previously stored inside of it? Also, the different metal parts might release toxic fumes at high temperatures.
That's why you do several burn offs before letting any good go into it. It gets rid of paint fumes and anything that may have been contained within. Our ancestors cooked everything inside metal stoves remember - steel / cast iron - it's all good.
@@tonyanddeb1012 Good points. Thanks!
Great idea, think I'm gonna try this
I should have done some welding or piercing inside and saved a bit of time and strength. Get ready for next version. And make the size of drum half.
Keep all moveable at the inside. Easy to disassemble and take anywhere you like.
Man, you and i would make greay neighbors and friends. Im glad i found your chanel.
you can put a bunch of smaller tricks of hardwood to get a quick rolling fire right before you cook your pizza. If you see flames on the top creeping towards you, you know your airflow is good and it will roast the cheese like you mentioned. An exhaust port/chimney a little inset from the opening in the front can help in general with flow but mostly prevent burning yourself. Seems well enough though, just need to weld and mortar and add some legs and it would be pro.
Nice oven beautiful bake need practice on dumping the cheese Great video I might make an oven
I am going to look up your other videos for pizza ovens and cooking. I love outdoor cooking.
I love your approach and attitude toward a project. Your like Edison and Tesla; find the ways don’t work quite right to find the way that’s works great.
Well done and greetings from Australia 🇦🇺
thanks Graeme! Eric.
Awesome build idea. Id say the only addition id implement would be a door (as most commercial / domestic pizza ovens have) which will keep the heat in and a more even cook - Great effort tough.
Cool idea!
Pro tip: Use a damp, slightly wet, cloth to wipe ash off the bricks.
The water will grab the ash and remove it easier.
You actually said " I NEED TO CUT THEM LONGER " It's OK though you made this old carpenter giggle, Thanks
