    Just some food for thought you can take the damper off at the barrel and place a 2 foot pipe on it and put the damper a little over a foot up off the barrel and it will help with your heat inside the barrel. Those dampers cause a draft issue being so close to the barrel like that. Amazing project. thanks so much for sharing. very cool.

    @tdtommy196 6 місяців тому +3

    Really cool idea. 2 things to consider for 2.0. Angle irons (use an old bed frame if you have one) as a frame for your grate. Also, it might be good to have the fire underneath the pizza stone instead of next to it so that you get some conductive heat to crisp up the bottom of the crust. I think you should still get more than enough convective heat coming over the top to get the rest of the job done.

    • @grubbyssmokeshack
      @grubbyssmokeshack  6 місяців тому +3

      I tried a fire underneath and it doesn't cook the top enough. It actually works better with the fire beside it. This is why I put the chimney over the cooking area, so it'd pull the heat over the top before it escapes.

    Ok I know your busy but im about to build one of these and you said wait for 2.0 but I can't. The only thing I see is your grate needs a little more ass because I see when the wood and pizza stone is on top of it the grate starts to buckle. So half inch metal square tubing and build a rectangle and then a support beam going across the center for better support and put your mesh grate on top of that. That's all I saw, other than that its perfect for pizza, good lord we are not trying to set it on the moon. Is there anything else you would change. just need to know before I start mine.

      Any stone will work but I just pulled the stone out of my Ooni oven and used that. Stones are super easy to clean. I keep a metal paint scraper near by, I scrape to loosen any debris off of it before I light the oven. The gear takes care of everything else. You always need to preheat a stone for about an hour before you put a pizza on it, in that time the fire will burn anything off of it.

      No, you need fire going over the top of the pizza to brown it up. If you put the fire in the bottom of the barrel, the top will be too cool. You'll get a burned bottom pizza that's under cooked on top.

      @@grubbyssmokeshack Wow, fast reply... Well, let me first state that this is a question, not a critique because I am not sure. But... My question is based upon the fact that all of my smokers/cookers have the fire below what you are cooking. On the surface, I can see that you are cooking based upon the temperature in the cooking vessel, but I believe (rightly or wrongly) that the further away the heat source, the less likely you are to burn what you are cooking. I cook pizza often on my grills (one a smoker, one a pellet) and in both cases the heat is below the cooking surface. Not sure that it has to be, but it has been my experience. So... just asking.

    @johnlithgow968 8 місяців тому +1

    What was the cook time on the pizza? It cooked the pizza so you can’t say it doesn’t work peeps. Here is the problem I think. Your pizza stone isn’t getting hot enough. The Ooni roof is much lower to the stone so that flame heat is really hitting the stone hard so it gets hot enough. For Neapolitan style pizza the floor or stone of the oven should get to 750-800f as you know from having your Ooni. I would work out getting the stone to those temps first. Maybe you can get a flame right underneath it as well. A big flame under would definitely get it there but maybe you would have to put something under the stone so it doesn’t get damaged or directly touch the pizza. Not sure about that one. Only thing is getting the right control of the fire so it doesn’t make the stone go past the ideal temp range. After that you just need to work out if the top flame heat will cook as fast as those high stone temps. Rotate that pie and hopefully bottom and top cook right on time!

    • @grubbyssmokeshack

      I did a few cooks in it off camera, I did try a fire underneath and the stone was hot enough every time I cooked on it. The problem is not enough heat from the top. I'm going to add fire brick to the dome to get some radiant heat, I just haven't had time to mess with it yet.

    So after watching this video I went down the rabbit hole and built the oven as shown. If you're thinking of doing the same take my advice: don't! It simply does not work. Pizza ovens require thermal mass to achieve the right high heat needed to properly cook a pie. A plain barrel modified as shown here does not have it. Even a good hot fire and coals would only achieve about 450 degrees in mine replicated on his. Not nearly hot enough to cook pizza right. Save your time and money and do not build this oven!
