    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’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.

  • @Will-bo7kg
    @Will-bo7kg 2 роки тому +7

    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.

    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.

    • @robertborden2666
      @robertborden2666 Рік тому

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

  • @MA-mh1vs
    @MA-mh1vs 2 роки тому +2

    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.

    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!!!

    Invest in a long handled metal pizza peel, or use welders gloves with the peel you have.
