How to build a brick pizza oven / Outdoor Kitchen Build/ Part 7: Curing Fires
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 сен 2020
- In this video I will show you how I cure a brick pizza oven. I will light a series of fires with each getting progressively hotter to dry out the moisture in the brick and mortar. It is important to use hard wood in the oven at all time.

Most underated channel ever such a shame ! Keep up the great work man
Thank you!!! “If you build it, they will come”. …Hopefully.
I like the bubble floating by at 3:58.
Haha! I never noticed that!
I loved you videos and advice! Most impressive is the care you gave to the details - keep it up!
This is amazing. I really want to plan for one of those when we renovate the backyard! I really like your content. Great work
Beautiful work!
Good job your such an expert otherwise no one would ever know what to do!😂😂
Hola Maestro ,estoy haciendo un horno siguiendo tus consejos los clientes contentos con el diseñó justo estoy en el procesó de curado por hacerlo esto biene muy bien muy prolijos tus trabajos me gusta y voy siguiendo sigue así . Abrazo Héctor desde Uruguay 🇺🇾
Great videos 👍😎
Great job, well explained, iam building my oven and learned a lot from you , thank you
Looking forward to more!
More on the way!
Just an FYI, I built my oven about 6 years ago and have always fired it using free scrap pine form a place who gave away left overs from making pallets. This builds the coal bed, when cooking with coals all the resin is gone. Once I have it fired pretty good I go to oak to finish it off and often add a couple small pieces of oak while I'm cooking to give the pizza a bit of a smoky flavor. I have never had and still don't have a resin buildup in my dome. The oven gets so hot that everything burns off. For me, this has worked. I have never had an off taste or anything. Great videos on this build. wish you would have had it out before I built my oven! Thanks
Ive been watchingon all your videos you are very talented , thsnk you for sharing !
Thank you so much!!! Thank you for watching.
Great smart work, Construction like big castle, Beautiful Oven.
Thank you!!!
Nice. Thanks
Nice job
Good
If you line its insides with mud mixed with cotton,It will not crack and will not need curing.It will make its structure more solid.We do it here and it works...
J habite a paris et j ai un grand jardin je vais faire un four comme le votre merci pour 👍
Bravo! Bel forno! Ma la volta è troppo alta! Deve essere più bassa per consumare meno legna e per mantenere meglio il calore! L' attrezzo in legno che hai usato per montare i mattoni deve essere costruito in due parti, una di circa 15 cm vicino al centro e poi l'altra parte va unita ma snodata con una piccola cerniera. Man mano che si alza il raggio in legno si accorcia e la volta viene più bassa. E' un segreto! NON dirlo a nessuno!
Congratulations very good work and well explained.
It is possible to write the measurements of the oven. Thank you very much Merry Christmas
Thank you! Plans are on my website. www.artisanmadethings.com/brick-oven
Questo è un progetto molto interessante.
Sei un bellissimo forno!
Espero também poder fazer um desses em casa um dia.
I would like to know how many days was necessary to build this oven.
You will need about 2 months. You will need to stop several times to allow the concrete to cure properly.
👍
❤
hot to fix some cracks ? thank you !
Great work , thanx for sharing
I finished building mine yesterday, can I cure it today and tomorrow for several hours and then use it on the third day ?
We too excited for the oven and wanna use it over the weekend
Congratulations! Watch the video. Don’t rush this part. You need to wait at least a week before you begins curing fires.
Great documentation of a fairly involved process. Since a year has gone by now can you tell me how it has been working, good bad or otherwise?
It has been great so far but I haven’t used it since December. I wrapped it up because I haven’t built a roof over it yet. I will begin construction next month. and hopefully have it finished soon. Check back in the fall and I will have more information about its performance
Congratulation sir.and here's my question sir.1.how is the performance so far?
2.is ceramic fibre blanket part is necessary?
3.how many hour do i need,to heat up the oven once I start using it for baking after one week of low fire?
Great channel! Im thinking of building the same one from your channel. My question is, when its time to put the door in it, the chimney is in the outside part of the door. is it supposed to be like that? or will the fire go out if a door is put there?
The design is correct. The door is keep in the retained heat. Much like how the door to a cooler keeps the cold in. If the vent is behind the door, the heat will escape.
Hi! First of all i love your videos. I live in sweden and its cold here. Do you think it would be a problem if i start my oven when it is minus degrees? If we would to start the oven during the winter i mean.
Thank you!! Probably not a good idea. Firebrick absorb lots of water. If water freezes during your building, could cause problems. Also water in refractory mortar will freeze before it cures. Too much time and money involved to take a risk like this in my opinion. Soon it will get warm again. In the meantime, you could build the base, but be sure to use concrete mortar that is suitable for freeing temperatures.
Hello and thank you for all the videos, they are very useful. I built my oven already (with a few differences here and there, but still the same style) and I am at the last day of curing. I suppose the key words related to not having cracks are "after the oven cooled", right? I can't see any cracks, not even hair line after it cools off, but I can see them during the curing fires. Please confirm, otherwise you will end up with a bunch of panicking friends :)
Cheers!
Thank you!!! I think you built a great dome. Hairline cracks are common because there is intense heat that will cause your dome to expand. As long as those cracks don’t get wider, there is no problem. Good luck!
@@ArtisanMade thank you for the reassurance, really appreciated. 2 more hours to go on the final curing fire. Biggest crack while hot is less than one millimeter (3/64"), so I will happily insulate it in the weekend. No cracks in the interior so far, will see after the first 550 Celsius.
Cheers!
Im back lol, sorry i just have been following your videos as part of my research and my design will mostly follow yours to a T
With that being said, how long did you wait before starting your curing fires? did you immediately start them the day or so after the dome was built? or did you give the mortar time to air cure before starting the curing fires
I waited 4 weeks. Better to be safe than sorry. I had a canopy over it to protect it from the elements. Remember that these bricks absorb water like sponges so it will take time for them to dry out.
Hi from downunder :) thanks, great work. One question, if you do get a couple of tiny little hairline cracks on the outside, is it okay to hide them with fire retardant grout ? or cement ? or is it not necessary
Thanking you
Deb
There are a lot of questions that I should ask here to be able to give an accurate answer. Assuming that you built the dome correctly: Did you fire it up to full temperature? Did you use a high temperature mortar (refractory mortar)? If so, a few hairline cracks are caused from expansion and are normal. If you want to fill them in(not necessary), use the same refractory mortar.
2:10 "A thermal thermometer" A therm-o-meter? Is their any other instrument that measures heat besides a thermal-o-meter? Couldn't resist! Great DIY project!
Cheers!
Haha!! I totally fumbled my words. It’s actually called an infrared thermometer.
If after these days of fire testing you notice cracks on the inside, can they be fixed with refractory mortar on the inside? I would really like to know if you can do it by stretching with your arm or by sticking in? because if there are cracks on the dome it is certainly much simpler - hello and greetings from Italy
Hairline cracks are ok. Big cracks 5 mm or more should not happen. If they do, there is a problem with the materials or construction
Could you use an LP burner to cure, since it could be controlled easier ? Love your videos
That would be easier for sure but the gas hose wouldn’t be able to withstand the temperature inside the oven.
You're right thanks, really enjoy your videos
When I started to cure the oven after 2hours at 50 degree C (thermocouple 1 inch in the stone) a crack appeared from top dome to bottom. It went even through several stones. After cooling down I shall place chickenwire and finish it with refactory cement..
How many bricks were used for the floor AND how many for the dome? Thx Great video🇨🇦👍👏👍👏
I used a total of about 250. Not sure how many on the floor.
@@ArtisanMade Thank you very much👍🇨🇦
Hi there.
I have just finished building my oven
When I have fired the 3rd fire at 200c. I have noticed few cracks on the dome. A bit worried about those cracks. Is there any advice how to fix it. Please
Hairline cracks ore common. Anything bigger you will need to do some repairs. not sure what you would need to do. Do your research. Good Luck
I am ready to cure my WFO but have already put a layer of render over the ceramic fire blanket and vermiculite insulation as it rains alot here in Ireland. My thinking was that I needed to keep the ceramic blanket from getting wet as the vermiculite would not keep the rain off it. I plan on doing a scratch coat and a final coat after I finish curing the oven but I'm worried that I will get alot of pressure cracks due to the fact I've already done one layer of render and the steam won't be able to escape. I must add i finished the dome a number of months ago... what do you think, Any advice? Thanks
If the dome has been kept dry, you might be ok. There shouldn’t be much moisture in the brick and mortar. Some people render before curing regardless. I’m not sure which practice is more correct. As long as the oven doesn’t crack, worst case scenario, you do a second layer of render after.
After you finished the dome with isolation and tiles, did you recure the oven?
Yes I did a few smaller fires prior
Just out of curiosity wouldn't it be easier to cure with propane? I seems like it would be easier to control the temp.
It’s a fire hazard unless the oven has a gas line built in to it.
Hi, thank you for the video, quick question, after you finished the dome, how many more days do you wait before starting the curing part ...
Thanks
I waited 2 weeks just to be sure. I also had a canopy over to keep it as dry as possible over that time period
Oui imaginations luluuouuuu okuuuuu mi lo ouiuuuouuuuu molinillo
Degrees is in celsius or F?
ok nevermind ... i saw later on thermometer its F :-D ...
How much Vermiculite did you use for this oven?
About 10 cubic feet
@@ArtisanMade Thanks for the response, can you tell me where you ordered it from?
an electric heating element and thermostat would make this much easier (not sure how easy it would be to rig something like that)
Electric element would struggle to get the oven to the proper pizza cooking temperature, but you can rig an oven to run on natural gas.
How big is rhe Radius?
Dimensions are on my website. Link is in the description.
Mum I wanna eat it
"Thermal thermometer" ...sorry had to
Lol slipped on that one.
I must say alot of what you say just isn't true.
