- This video is a little long because of the sandstone base, but you can skip and go to the section where we show you how to build the actual oven at about the 9 minute mark.
I was dreading the brick part of a oven building process and your video came in right on time. Great result and the size is perfect for full range of cooking.
Glad I could help!
Its really aesthetically pleasing. I love your stone work mate.
Thanks Al! Cheers.
Good job 👍
I love the stone work. Great job!
Thanks Karen!👍
Bloody unreal video!
Amazing work!
What a beautiful house you have there sir. I love the oven too. Thanks for sharing the video🙏 Greetings from Holland.
Thanks Lin! Best wishes.
Absolutely stunning job job mate well done to you.
Thanks!🙏👍
Ciao ottimo lavoro! Un saluto dal profondo sud dell'italia
Excellent video with beautiful craftsmanship. The best one I've seen.
Thanks Kyle. Much appreciated!
@@talldarkandhandyandy5493 I'm in the middle of building my own fireplace, but it will not compare to the craftsmanship that you have in yours.
@@kstofkos all the best with it Kyle! I’ll be posting soon on my stone fireplace inside the house sometime soon. Cheers
@@talldarkandhandyandy5493 looking forward to seeing that
Great video 👏👏👏
Thanks Gary!
That’s awesome. I’m hoping to make a wood fired pizza oven someday at our property in Wisconsin USA
Hello from the UK I have been looking for a way to make a cheaper pizza oven so I can cook outside I’ve the winter here rather then using the gas or electric indoors and you explain how to do this so well. Thank you
Thanks Boo. Cheers Andy👍👍
Brilliant job, just string your corners next time.
Great video mate! Oven looks mint.What was your recipe/ratio'sfor the refactory concrete? Seems alot easier than the brick dome route.
Hi Angus. Thanks! The refractory mix was from the company in Sydney that I mentioned in the video. Fieldfurnace.com.au they supply bags ready mixed. Very little water needs to be added. Quite a dry mix. Cheers

Thanks for the reply. How many bags did you go through for your dome? The pre-mixed castable refractory bags I've come across are not cheap. Did your pre-mix refractory contain perlite?
A diy recipe I've come across is -
1.5 parts Portland cement + 2 parts Perlite + 2 parts silica sand + 2 parts fire clay + stainless steel needles.
@@bitzer8115 wow. Thanks for the tip Angus. Cheers. Andy.
You mentioned tile for the cooking surface. Are they just thinner firebricks? Never seen that before. Great video!
Yes, they are from the same supplier, about a 40 or 50mm thick square refractory brick or tile as they really look. Thanks for the comment.
Cheers
Nice job Andy.. what times dinner.. need to know a couple in advance so I can book a flight.. hahah
😂Thanks!
How or did you remove the polystyrene from inside the pizza oven? Did the bricks and sand stay put when you did?
Removing the polystyrene boxes was quite simple, just breaking small bits at a time and then the sand and bick all fell in slowly and i removed them bit by bit then swept out all the sand with a small dustpan broom...
Love your name. Lol
How many bags of refractory cement did you use for the dome casting? Cheers
HI Wil, sorry for the very slow response. From memory i think i used about 5 bags.. i had some left over from the recommended amount that the refractory company suggested (where i bought the bags)
How is it holding up. I am hoping to start mine soon and hoping to use refractory that I have also
It is performing extremely well.. no problems or issues. All the best with your build!
you sir have the patience of Job
Haha! Thanks.
Beautiful oven can you tell me the inside dimension of your oven.
Thanks. Yes the internal dimension is about 900mm (35.5 inches)👍
So did you also pull out the newspaper and plastic wrap?
Yes. I pulled all the paper and plastic wrap out..
Hi how's the dome any cracks yet cheers
Hi David
Some hairline cracks. I will put another coat of sand and cement mix over the dome soon..
how much did this cost you?
what kind of cement do you use to lay the bricks
Hi Ricardo, I used fire proof refractory cement.
Cheers
Ikd you vidéo very much, only bug bear was that the back ground was far too loud in the fore ground, making it at times difficult to follow you....I have very good hearing.
Cheers. Ik work on the sound next time. 👍
@@talldarkandhandyandy5493 hi there and thanks for your reply, apologies for typos and autotype errors😂😂😂should have read, Liked... and Back ground Music....that aside really liked your artistry in matching the morta to the sandstone...makes all the difference, yes. 🙋♀️🌈🌞
Where did the polystyrene go?
The polystyrene just got broken up when I pulled everything out of the dome.. Cheers
whats the size inside?
Hi Gonzalo,
It is 1m x 1m inside
Cheers
You basically made two pizza ovens lol How did you cut the fire bricks? You could've used a large yoga or beach ball to shape the dome.
Hi Max
I had a very old Makita drop mitre saw that I put a masonry blade on. Not ideal but it did the job nicely! I had to have the water hose running on a trickle to keep the blade from overheating. Cheers
better change the title.... cuz all I see is you building it with bricks!
If you watch the video you will see the dome is not brick.
@@talldarkandhandyandy5493 Nope. The interior structure is brick! The exterior is finished with stone sure.. But that's not at all the same as a "not brick" oven when it still is depending on bricks. Decent video, the title is just not as advertised
You're kidding, right?
