Really not to take anything away from other episodes. But this was one of the most fulfilling and satisfying ones you’ve done. I’m so happy for your progress. And the pizza oven is a top 10 achievement.
Very happy to see young people doing stuff using ancient and eco techniques . First time i see a oven made of clay and using "hand tools" .Very nice. And now you can make pizza and your own bread also. Keep on
I have watched at least 50 videos on building a pizza oven and yours is incredible. I have everything I need to build one like yours and you can be so creative with the tile shape. I love this video and will be building my wife the pizza oven of her dreams. Thank me you
As i now, that oven is normally close, do not have a Center hole (chimney) ,it need to preserve the heat inside to transfer to walls, them we remove rest os brass, and make bread and meal... a big one, takes 5 hours to get very hot, and last for 24h in working order. i thing the pipe will lost a lot of heat, a curious thing is that in the beginner of fire, the walls start very black, and passing the hours of heating, they start to get white and clean ( were we know that is starting to be good to cook. never the less, a good job done. cheers, sorry for the bad English :)
I am about to embark on the adventure of being a raw landowner myself and I look forward to all of your updates lol Thank-You for being you & doing what you do! 👍👍 Pure Awesome Sauce 🔥
Tile like inside the oven could replace your board you were using. Very nice Oven. By the way Antler Bone makes a good handle for door as it will stay cool to the touch and not transfer heat.
Thanks for including the mixing and testing part! For whatever reason, mixing and testing is always glossed over in UA-cam videos. Without that, you can’t actually try it yourself. I mean, I guess I could throw things together totally at random, but for that I don’t need instructions and what’s the point anyway? Regardless, thanks for the explanation.
Awesome stuff! Also have a suggestion for you guys to look into. Grow a bamboo patch wherever you want to mask the highway noise the most. There is a particular satisfying sound coming of swaying bamboo sticks which is just the right amount. Also it grows really fast and is an excellent building material. Some of the bamboo sprouts are also edible. Only thing you need to take care of is making a barrier around the patch so it doesn't wander off.
A friend has a dog kennel behind his house. BIG mistake. The barking was driving them crazy. A row of bamboo solves the problem!!! Who would have thought?!
A little tip in building the fire. Start in the door way until you get a small bed of coals, then slide it into the middle. Keeping adding wood until you get the temperature you want. I built one using the Forno Bravo design which was more round than tapered. We cooked a lot of pizzas over the years. I have to admit that we used preformed fire bricks.
I used the Forno Bravo (free) plans to build my own oven in Liguria, but I used firebricks and proper cement to make it and lots of insulation both under the bed and over the dome. I suspect the lack of insulation is preventing you getting to 400C as the bricks still had soot on them when you put the pizza in and that burns off when you get to the right temp. Also the interior is too large imo and a funny shape. The internal shape (and the chimney positioning) is important to get a swirl of fresh air feeding the fire and the smoke exiting in the upper layer. A taller, vertical chimney will help with that rather than the horizontal pipe. It's interesting to see what you're doing though and great to see you all working together. Plus any pizza made at home is better than one from the store !
you must be so a good friend 😁 we need more people like you.. you are sharing your land... and everyone is welcome and help improve 💚❤❤💚 so cool all young people going to the countryside to live off grid !! you gonne create a beautifull community 💯💯💯 hope one day i can come and help ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼 much love from 🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪
Man I want to visit you all sooo badly!! For like a month. Or a summer. It is so desirable what you are doing! Thank you so much for lettin us be the part of your journey and progress! It really is a pleasure.
I feel this is a great infrastructure addition as it's not only good for making pizzas but works great for baking bread, casseroles, fritatas, & more! It was great to see more faces in the kamp army too! I enjoyed seeing the process involved as well as the interesting tiled pattern which was quite different from the DiY earthen ovens I've seen before. As for the board in front of the oven, perhaps you could try Shou Sugi Ban (Japanese burnt wood + oil treatment that will thoroughly dry the wood & make it fire resistant). As always, looking forward to the next update!
Using a spirit level as a screed, my dad would have yelled at me for doing that! :P Great job, looks like a good oven. Only tip I have is to never roll pizza dough, always press and stretch :)
You should consider building an aquaponics system with raised beds to plant and also growing fish at the same time. I guess the IBC systems are the easiest.
It's lovely, I always loved to see the how it's made videos. It would be lovely to be there and participate in the building, but it's not always possible. Anyway I am happy to see the team spirit :) It looked a bit like hippies have great time, but in same time I love the level of precisity, the leveling and engineering for future issues. It's a great ballance in my opinion. Keep on doing the good work. Looking forward to see the next adventure :)
An easy way to speed up your tile making for square tiles isnmakena simple mold. It helps you get more uniform thickness for aore even product. You cam just use scrap wood to make a simple square slap your clay in and scrap over the top to remove excess then just lift the mode and boom you have a tile.
Followed you from the start of your journey love it we are from Australia we want to buy a small property in Spain also looking at Portugal cant wait for 37 regards Adrian and Assunta
Thanks for a great video. I’m planing to build one my self next summer ( been planning for many years, but now i got some good clay up from the ground). Really liked the bricks and the pattern they make, inspired to try that my self. So thanks for sharing, and I will look around on your channel and see what other videos you have, and press the button of course. 😊👍 Love and peace.
You should have made a mold for the tiles by making out of lumber a U shape. Pack in the clay mixture into the shape, slowly remove it from the mold by tipping it over then using a wire cut through it the depth that you want the tiles. then just let them dry. They will be somewhat the same size.
I think Italy cried a little when she rolled the dough with a rolling pin. You should use cornflower om your table to spread the dough and on your peel to roll the pizza into the oven.
Have you ever heard of "The Victorian Farm"? It's a British tv show (now on you tube) It features Ruth Goodman (historian) Peter Ginn and Alex Langlands (archeologists) they live for a year as Victorian farmers. In one of he episodes they work to restore the forge in the village blacksmith's shop where they are living - this entails making hundreds of clay bricks. They used a wooden molds to shape the clay - this meant that each brick was of equal size and thickness. It's interesting to watch and they do authentic Victorian (1800's) hand made things - like baskets and bricks using only hand tools. They are helped by experts in these crafts.
look for an old window sill made of granite or marmor to place it in front of the ovendoor. I would like to give you one, got so many here at home. The problem is that i am from germany, i think its to far away for just a board of stone:P great videos!
we actually found a gravestone manufacturer close to the property - but we focused on finishing the oven first. There is also a need for a nice wooden roof to protect the oven from rain.. :)
It’s cool to have so many people to work on the projects… You guys are lucky that everyone gets along, which is always a problem with any group of people… But who is the owner of the land?! All of you? Or some kind of a co-op?
The dystopia words of Klaus Schwabb reminds me of this camp oven build "You will own Nothing! and you will be Happy!" But it seems you are finding your own destiny before the elite do and that is commendable, not many would live like this by choice.
Approvechio has a rocket stove powered pizza oven that is made from a 44 gallon drum. They also have a design for a. Rocket stove powered hot water heater as well as a rocket stove mass heater to keep warm. Check out rocket stoves and Himalayan rocket stoves.
Was a bit worried this was becoming a hippy commune, but you all seem like nice people, just helping each other out. Whilst of course using less plastics. I guess the group sex I just a bonus!
💕When building the roof above your clay oven you should build it big enough to include an outside kitchen & bbq area💕You can also roast joints of meat in your oven💕
As an Italian, I'm thrilled that pizza is one of your guilty pleasures. However, let me be honest: when we see you rolling out the dough with a rolling pin, it's almost like a sacrilege to us! Real pizza is only stretched by hand!
can you explain in the next video, who all these people are and how the arrangement works please? are they all going to be living on the land? are they there to learn skills and help build projects and then go back home? or what? so many people!
@@georgewaller7080 But if you want a bump, and you build it on top of a bump shaped mould, does it really constitute inversion? If you mould said bump in an external cavity, then you would have built something positive out of a negative... We need to really think about this, everybody! Food for thought...
Maybe you could use some more of the terracotta tiles from the floor of the oven for the front surface? It would all tie together visually then as well
@@ric_dk-9520 agreed, a stone slab would work best, just thought there might be some more spare tiles, which would mean not needing to acquire anything else…

TIP: to avoid snagging the pizza paddle on the tile edges when scooping a pizza out, lay the floor tiles on a diagonal to door entry.
That's a great tip indeed!
too late ;)
For me you are on time! Thankss

Just beautifully to see young people enjoying working the land and making things. Very special
Invite the neighbors over! Such nice folks would make great dinner guests around that fun oven.
Always remember safety sandals, love the progress on this one! Really shows how well you are developing the site and community.
Safety sandals only work correctly when paired with a safety beer!

Replace the wooden board with ceramic tiles. Heat durable and can be cleaned easy.

I have nothing to say really, but I appreciate your content, and wish to help with the yt-algorithms.
Might of been easier to make moulds for the clay.
You beat me to it :D
"that isn't as fun" is what I thought but eh, either way works. then again, I don't know the specifics going into it
But why when you can basketweave
It’s beautiful. It’s my dream to have one of this I wish my family could built one as well. Thank you so much for sharing

My grandfather would kill me if I do that, now I would do the same to my grandkids. 😒
Okay, that first pizza looked absolutely amazing!
Love it! You can also make bread in it too! Or make stews or a roast. It's rather versatile.
Can dry your wet socks in it.
You should consider building an aquaponics system with raised beds to plant and also growing fish at the same time. I guess the IBC systems are the easiest.
Watched this on the train, and now I really want some pizza 🤩
That oven will be great for breads and baked stews. Excellent to your project
Very very nice to see you very happy and working togheter.
So cool. You guys are making great progress building community.

Make some tiles for the pizza oven bench , watching from Australia
This is the most interesting video I have seen on youtube for a while .. , big Like
I think Italy cried a little when she rolled the dough with a rolling pin. You should use cornflower om your table to spread the dough and on your peel to roll the pizza into the oven.
Try making individual pizzas on Pita breads !!! Very good to lower carb levels.
Then how are they going to have the energy to keep going? Not many of them have more than 14 days worth of fat on themselves.
Can I come live with you guys? Awesome build, love it. I have built a few ovens myself, I love doing it.

I’m building such an oven myself, using clay as well. How long did your oven need to dry by itself before applying fire for the first time?
Very nice! How about some terracotta tiles instead of the wood to put under the pizza door?
Amei o forno...as pizzas tava com cara de maravilhosas😊 .... parabéns pra essa turma
Congratulations! I wonder what else you could reliably cook in your oven? Hope it lasts a long time for you too :D

This video is extremely satisfying to watch
Nice to see how you all got the oven done.
very good and hard job, nicely demonstrate. Thx!
The Pizza Police won't be happy with that dough. The secret is prep it 2-3 days before eating and cold ferment. Great video though!

Is the outside now fired enough so you don't have to cover any of it on a bad rain?
You guys have lots of trees make roof with that. That will look good
Use those same tiles that you used for the base for the ledge in front of the door.
Music is too loud in comparison to voice imho! Constantly having one hand on the volume knob... :/

I just went there to build the oven - for a week! It was my contribution to the project.. a donation so to say :)
Is that just regular clay/earth or is there something mixed in besides straw ?
Is it a really negative mold? It seemed pretty positive to me... A negative mold would be a cavity, like in a tray, no?
A negative is simply the inverse of the desired outcome, not what shape it is.
