You are fortunate to have them as a resource. Make sure to write down every pearl you get from them, or better yet film them sharing what they know. My sister did that with my grandmother before she passed, recorded her singing old songs and sharing family stories. It's priceless to all of us, and the traditions bring us all closer.

If you ever want any sourdough starter I'd be happy to send some your way.

Here is some work from today. We continued the installation of the bricks. We cut open an area to accommodate for the BBQ pit clean out door, then continued to install the bricks.


Cutting the opening.



Using our Bosch jack hammer to dig out the concrete

I officially started the curing. I had the propane weed burner in there for about 2 hours, had it on its lowest setting. Stacked a few fire bricks to diffuse the flame/heat. The hottest the top of the dome got was just shy of 200F. The chimney also seems to be drawing pretty well. Hope i can continue some more tomorrow.

Check out this famous builder's method which looks pretty sloppy but he uses a sand form in this set of photos. I like that refractory liquid mortar he pours over the entire dome. Seems like his whole build procedure saves a lot of time.

Carbon, very cool article and slideshow on how this NY pizza oven was built. I LOVE the idea of building it on top of a sand form, letting it "set" - then digging out the sand. Very good idea indeed . . . .

Nice! You could have thrown in a rack of ribs in there while you were at it. :))

Lol i thought about it but the heat doesnt stay long enough, the bricks suck in the heat so the heat inside the oven doesnt stay hot for too long, unless i keep on adding fuel.

You and me both.

On another note i will never buy mesquite chacoal/lump anymore, i was stuck with a 40 pound bag, but now its done. I filled the weber chimney with the mesquite and lit it up on my gas grill side burner. WOW $hit everywhere, sparks, debris, ash. Im done with mesquite.

Just catching up on your progress. Very inspiring!

I've been looking at building something in my back yard. Seems like there are a lot of pre made ovens out there that you just put ontop of a foundation. Supposedly if the deminsions are off the oven won't work as well. What did you use as a guide to build yours?

Sorry for the late response. If you are buying a premade oven you wont have to worry about anything. But if you are building from bricks then yes there is a calculation you must go buy in order to ensure proper functioning and proper air flow/draw. When you get serious about starting this project i highly recommend you surf around the Fornobravo site and download the building plans.

Here are some more from today, got the oven walls up to 400-425. Today went pretty well i guess. I got down the method pretty well. The charcoal chimney starter worked like a charm, lit up a few pieces of wood then constantly added wood, every 2 minutes i would throw in a piece inside, worked pretty well. The fire was constant and never went out in the chimney starter, i used scrap 2x4 wood at first then switched over to Hardwood/Mulberry.






Threw in some Mulberry to dry out for the next firing.



And here are the cracks thus far.

Are cracks like that considered normal and reasonable thus far?
