Couple of easy suggestions: Rotate the opening in the firebox to one side so you don't have to reach over the fire to get to the opening. Metal fire tray so you can start the fire then slide it back deeper into the firebox.
I love the comedy of errors throughout this video with the genuine & sincere banter throughout. You are somebody I’d definitely be friends with as your silliness is inline with mine. Cool video and will definitely give it a try. Cheers and God bless 🙏🏼🍕🇺🇸
Your right about the science when it comes to why concrete can "explodes" when heated too high and for too long. However extremely dry concreate also has it's own problems, it being very brittle. Bricks also have the advantage of being able to contract and expand none uniformly without compromising the structure as a whole (too within reason). This isn't the case for a continuous piece of concrete which will form cracks wherever two sections of different temperatures meet. This is likely why your concrete firepit topper hasn't cracked since it being composed of separate pieces, rather than a continuous ring, allows different parts of it expand and contract as needed like bricks.
After the last two or so years of doommongering it's great to listen to someone with a sense of humour, and happy disposition, lucky family!!! Good luck to you all!
The exploding pizza oven animation was hysterical. I too wondered if it was safe. Not just for the exploding concrete, but also if it’s actually “food safe”. It may not matter since the pizza is not on there very long…. Thanks for sharing!
I’ve seen this on UA-cam, so many cool and different designs, this is a great video, i like that u can make something for a good price and not go and spend the big bucks on. Something like already prepaid pizza ovens, the key to pizza i was told was making sure to have a good high heat to cook the pizza fast, ad hey, who doesn’t love pizza. Another great video, have a great weekend my friends.
Seriously, the comedy on your channel is what drew me in. The part with the ferro rod and the gas lighter had me in stiches. New subscriber to your channel, really enjoying it and love the way you bring a family friendy atmosphere which sets you apart from other channels.
A couple things to help out: When using a Ferro rod, hold your knife steady and draw the rod, it is much easier to control. Invest in a long handled metal pizza peel, or use welders gloves with the peel you have. Although it is a lot of work building a cob oven is a great time and activity with kids. Keep up the great videos!
I'd suggest investing in one of the smaller rd metal peels with the longer handle. Use the wood one you already have to initially put it in. But the smaller metal peels are perfect for when the crust becomes more rigid with some heat to start rotating the pizza every 20-30 seconds for even heat on it. Also easier to pull the finished pie out with them.
@@HAXMAN Maybe you're over doing that last part a little bit. The proper way to use a ferro rod is to hold down your fluff with the end of the rod, then your strikes will go right where they are supposed to.
You are just too much fun! I've been watching your videos for over an hour and I really enjoy your humor. THanks for the education along the way. Greg from Hartsville, SC
We build one too. Pizza peel made from sheet metal and old broom stick. Actually $0 for us because all the materials were just lying around in grandma's garden. Worked perfectly. Great keep it simple holiday experiment.
To all the people saying rotate the opening, this design would lend itself to perfect, even convection. If the flames bother you a simple door made from a brick or plate metal would create a temporary heat shield. Also grafting longer handles to pizza peels are simple affairs depending on how ghetto you want them to look. I.E. a hose clamp or two and a broom handle.
This is right up my alley, it will match my brick grill, brick rocket stove and washing machine tub burn pit on cinder blocks. I think I will put this oven on some cinder blocks to just bring it up higher and rotate the opening so I am not reaching over the fire.
First, I have seen many Barbecue pits made with cinder blocks so it seem to work good. Second, thanks for showing all ups and downs while constructing your projects; keeps it real because that is exactly what happens when we men build stuff. And thanks for the comedy relief. Gotta a laugh.
Oh and I am definitely going to try this before attempting the one made with a barrel. Btw, we do share a love for pizza pie lol. I literally have it days and days in a row and have wanted to build an outside oven like this for years.
"You OK? Si!" 😂😂😂 I haven't built or will probably ever make any of your projects but find your videos entertaining. I really enjoy your accents especially 🇬🇧. From the UK
Hey, I'm no pizza oven expert but I was just thinking maybe you could put the side you put the pizza on the opposite side of the whole for the firewood so you don't burn yourself. Great content as always though! 😁
@@HAXMAN that's a good point, maybe possible to vent to the sides or or have the pizza opening to the side. If you make any alterations I'd love to see a video of what you come up with
For best results, hold the knife steady, and pull back on the rod. This makes the sparks hit the same place on the lint the whole time, and you don't hit the lint with your knife on the follow through.
I like using welding gloves when cooking over a fire. Also I also use corn meal on the bottom of the pizza to help it roll of the pizza peel easier. Thanks for the video!
To anyone thinking of doing this- fucking do it. I’ve done it copying this almost to a the letter and it’s amazing. Make sure there is a big enough opening for flames to come over the top of the pizza and put the fire opening on the side rather than the front as mentioned elsewhere in the comments! Works really well and cooks super super fast. It did however crack the middle slab for me so unsure what to buy that won’t crack but it’s incredible!
Very cool. If you put the loader for the pizza on the opposite side of where you put the logs to burn - it might fix those difficulties you were having with the heat trying to get the pizzas in and out.
I have been watching several of your videos and recently subscribed because they're all great. I just finished an outdoor fire pit with gravel, plants, mulch, lights, etc and had the idea to add on a pizza oven extension and my reaction was exactly the same as yours, it's a lot of work that I don't have time for... I saw this design on another channel and found a couple of videos making the same style oven... I really appreciate your efforts and sharing your experience with not only the build, but the supplies used since I'm also in FL and probably will have access to the same supplies... Thanks and I cannot wait to try this oven out myself!!!
For an excellent pizza look up 72 hour pizza dough by baking steel. Then instead of using a corn meal to keep the dough from sticking, use semolina flour.
Fero Rod: Push rod down onto tinder, against the ground, so it does not move when you run back of knife over it. This a) conserves your muscle energy from being wasted on motion (of the fero rod wobbling in your hand), and instead go into friction energy against the rod, generating an igniting spark that is larger, hotter, and lasts longer. and b) focuses the sparks down and into the tinder instead of spraying all over. or just stick to lighters, no ones pulled out a ruler yet.
Now you have proof of concept, lets see how much better you can do with $100? Fire bricks? Steel plate top? Copper plate top? regarding concrete and fire... You can mitigate/reduce the chances by seasoning it by burning a small fire for a long time and taking steps to prevent re-moisturization via covering the concrete when not in use, though in moister climates, even the humidity in the air coupled with the cold near/at ground temps at night can cause concrete to suck moisture out of the air and the ground. Nice one day version of this project.
Great video!!! I gotta try this trick!! Look up diy pizza peel. Or go to a restaurant supply store get a good metal peel ... home made pizzas are delicious!!
😂😂😂 Enjoyed the video.....and yup, the comedy of errors and humour involved ! Building a proper pizza oven but will definitely do this one on the next trip into the wild, with a firelighter ! 😂
First time watching. I had to sub when the girls looked like my kids with that "my dad is a dork" look. Great vid! This would be fun to tinker with to see how it could be improved.
@@HAXMAN i do paver installations so I would do a paver base with fire brick and use that as my area for firewood to heat...I might go higher as my knees are shot lol.
I built a pizza oven out of concrete polymer vermiculite and white lava stone, wire reinforced. I broke it in with small fires, eventually it got over 800 degree and will cook a pizza in 4 minutes. One crack like any earthen, Cobb oven, I've used it seven times and no explosion. I can see how that could be an issue, the water in the Crete has to be coaxed out before heavy firing.
You can use any kind of BBQ grill that got a dome. Square Round it don't make any differences. I just use my Weber grill with pizza pans now! I got the pizza stone to. Up to 18" pizzas pans, i got a pizza peel to take the pans of pizza off and on >> Depending on the heat! from 250 degs to 400 degs about 20 min you will have a perfectly cook pizza top to bottom 👌 I like it lightly charred
Hi Haxman! Really enjoyed watching your attempt at creating a wood fired pizza oven! I am trying to make my own wood fired oven. From my perspective it looks like you nailed it and pizza looks incredible! What I was wondering is, does the smoke from the fire go up the vent at the back and onto the pizza or does it vacate out through the front and not go near the pizza too much? Love the funny comments and humour throughout the video.
Wonderful video and helpful step by step instructions. I would like to suggest , make your opening for the oven part in a different direction ( like a 1/4 of a turn type of design). Then the flames are not facing directly towards you. This will prevent the heat from coming at you and be a safer alternative to cooking pizza. Also hopefully this would work, maybe get a type of steel mesh racks (non toxic metal and heat resistance) to stabilize the bricks and then placing pavers on top? That way bricks will stay in place evenly and gain more length on the sides? Thank you sharing. Take care. 👋 😁
Great video. I love dem pizzas too. Lol. Looks like a great backyard addition. I love how your family is involved in activities like that. A longer metal spatula might be the ticket, but otherwise looks perfect. Might I suggest a bowl of Blue Bell afterwards.
First time start with a small 🔥 to “dry” out the concrete (about 300 degrees for 30 minutes?) to help prevent cracking? I’m definitely going to try this
First time watching you video You remind me a lot of my dad when I would help him in the shed But he only had boys and would get mad at us for holding the flash light wrong lol Always fun helping him though Very nice place too. I can tell you have done many thing to improve your house My dad and I turned a lake house at the ozarks into a 8 bed room house We turned the garage into 3 bed rooms and built a shed in the front (the back is the lake lol) and a tornado shelter in the basement into a loft with a bed on top and bottom Overall great video and glad I can subscribe
Hey man another tip about bugs mostly black flies that circle your head all day out in the field. Stick a couple dryer sheets in your hat they don’t like it. I use snuggle.
I've worked at a smelting plant for 15 years. I've seen concrete blow up many times with excessive heat. Molten aluminum on old dry concrete will still blow
Easy does it. A fantastic idea for a low-budget pizza oven. And an entertaining video as well. Any concerns about baking food directly on the concrete? I was thinking about using fire clay slabs instead. Any ideas on that?
Steam explosions--that's why you don't use rocks from the river to build a fire ring on a camping trip. I have a ferro-rod in my daily carry bag, just in case I need to run away from home on the spur of the moment. I think it works better when you hold your edge still and draw the rod back.
I have retaining wall block around a old dryer drum for my burn pit and I built some pretty good fires and nothing has cracked yet been that way almost 2yrs
Couple of easy suggestions: Rotate the opening in the firebox to one side so you don't have to reach over the fire to get to the opening. Metal fire tray so you can start the fire then slide it back deeper into the firebox.
Very good idea!
You know.... that seems so obvious that I wonder why it hasn't been done.
Yes that sounds good. I did look on Amazon and they have some long handled Pizza peels !
There are smart people on UA-cam.
how about a pic of the firebox on the side? trying to visualize it
And this is why at 10:00 pm on a Friday night, I started to build a pizza oven... (Okay but the exploding oven scene was my favorite)
😂
Mine too! I just found this channel and I am loving every minute! Laughing and being inspired, cant be bad!
I love the comedy of errors throughout this video with the genuine & sincere banter throughout. You are somebody I’d definitely be friends with as your silliness is inline with mine. Cool video and will definitely give it a try. Cheers and God bless 🙏🏼🍕🇺🇸
Your right about the science when it comes to why concrete can "explodes" when heated too high and for too long. However extremely dry concreate also has it's own problems, it being very brittle.
Bricks also have the advantage of being able to contract and expand none uniformly without compromising the structure as a whole (too within reason). This isn't the case for a continuous piece of concrete which will form cracks wherever two sections of different temperatures meet. This is likely why your concrete firepit topper hasn't cracked since it being composed of separate pieces, rather than a continuous ring, allows different parts of it expand and contract as needed like bricks.

One 180 degree turn halfway in is enough rotation to even out the cooking.

How many people besides me jumped when the explosion went off? lol.. So funny. Nice job on the pizza oven.
This channel deserves an obscene amount of more subs
The explosion clip. LMBO!!! Great Video.
I ERUPTED in laughter when you said “it’s too hot, back up” and the explosion edits started going off. 😂😂😂😂
We build one too. Pizza peel made from sheet metal and old broom stick. Actually $0 for us because all the materials were just lying around in grandma's garden. Worked perfectly. Great keep it simple holiday experiment.
.... I was just eyeballing buying or making an outdoor pizza oven.. This is some timing! Thanks for this!
Perfect! There's no way I'm making one of the traditional ovens when this worked so great.
