great job. I have a concern,,, how is the heat retention of this oven? means, after a PIZZA night, the oven will remain hot for how many hours please ?
Great stuff, I finished mine, I used lava rock, sand and cement. I plan to use the perlite-cement and cover the interior with this mix. Hope it does not crack. I also plan to install a propane burner so it can run on both wood and gas
I'm going to build this soon. I like your video over the many on RUclips ... I haven't decided about adding a 1" layer of insulation. When it is fully fired does the dome feel warm to the touch? And did it crack?
6 to 8 weeks if you have the time, or wish to experiment with an idea,or near zero budget then fine. I wish I could wait that long haven't the time unfortunately instead I'd use ceramic fibre board 25mm thick and fashion an insulated handle the board is rated some to 1200° and upto 2600°. Roughly made in 10 minutes, a small sheet could probably make 3 or 4 doors or double the thickness. Each to their own idea.👍
Great video pal I have just one question could I use leca? I have 4-10mm in size but I guess I could sieve it to get the small sizes, the reason for leca is I already have that and I want that grey colour as well as yours is white, thanks
hi, planing to build one oven myself so i wondering how many liters of perlite did you need to make this oven? also why not using concrete reinforcement fibers instead of chicken wire for armature?
iCrazyOwl 100l of perlite should be enough. I just used chicken wire as a more readily available alternative, so of course you could use reinforcement fibres instead to prevent cracking.
Алексей Скрундь hi thanks for your question. Perlite is rated as having high air porosity and vermiculite as medium air porosity, so i would expect the perlite to perform better in terms of insulation for the oven and door.
great video thank you, i have a question regarding vermiculite, could you mix the 2 together, also i can only find gardening perlite is this ok to use or where could i buy it from
@@foodrelated thankyou so much for the quick response, I am looking at building a bbq with an oven underneath as i do not have space for both, would the perlite be water resistant, what i mean by that is I will not be able to cover it so would the perlite mix become compromised, i plan on making bricks for inside the oven
Yes making for a friend. I was interested in seeing the performance differences between Perlite and Vermiculite. So far i'm impressed with how solid the perlite seems. Once the oven is cured and installed, we will conduct some temperature retention tests etc.
@@foodrelated I've used perlite on mine along with refractory cement. It seems solid enough and seems to hold the temp pretty well. I've put up a short 1 minute slide show on RUclips of the build. I'm in the process of making 2 more kits myself so hopefully get a full build video at some point.

Aaron Rodriguez NICE!

Yes it does get warm to touch.
Our latest version with chicken wire reinforcement hasn’t cracked yet and it’s 3 years old.
6 to 8 weeks if you have the time, or wish to experiment with an idea,or near zero budget then fine.

Yeah, I made an oak one as well!! Much quicker!
when you say part, you mean volume i'm assuimng?
did you do a part 5 to this series, showing the oven being fired up, and how it stood up to the heat?
Brad Dixon no not yet!
@@foodrelated please do
Hi there. Wondering if you used a coarse or fine perlite. Also, which one would you recommend for the pizza oven? Thanks!
Medium
why does it take 6 to 8 weeks to dry? is there another way to dry it up quicker.. thanks
To avoid cracks
Did it have any cracks ?
No cracks but I would recommend making one like this.

utube882 I reckon you go for it!!
It has excellent thermal insulation.
tompeyton1 okay mate cheers I’ll let you know how it goes
Nice job... Do u not need to use refractory cement..?? Im going to be build oven soon
Jo you could, it would certainly be more heat resistant...
Hi,very nice. how much it weights?
Yaron Sabbag not sure right now but when it has dried out I will let you know!

What is better perlite or vermiculite and what is the difference?) Greetings from Belarus)
Алексей Скрундь hi thanks for your question.
Perlite is rated as having high air porosity and vermiculite as medium air porosity, so i would expect the perlite to perform better in terms of insulation for the oven and door.
What was the end result???????????????????????????????????????????????????
Think you may need more question marks.

I wondered where all the question marks had gone 😂
Definitely looking at Bunnings for vermiculite tomorrow...or a garden centre
great video thank you, i have a question regarding vermiculite, could you mix the 2 together, also i can only find gardening perlite is this ok to use or where could i buy it from
Yes you could. I’ve never done it but I’m sure it would work.
Garden perlite is fine.

You making this for someone, what happened to your other oven...

Great look forward to watching it.
5 to 6 weeks of cure time is long
