would it actually explode? is this something you do behind the wood shed, and not on the deck near the front windows of my cabin?

brown terra cotta?

kiln fired ceramic?

seriously, i know not of these things....

.......thats why i got all yalls

if the pots have been fired correctly and are of modern terra cotta construction they really should not pop.  Old terra cotta might not be real trustworthy.  and your talking pizza so you really arent going to be heating it up more than maybe 500 tops it sounds like a fun project, Alton Brown does cool stuff and the guy seems to also know how to science.

traditional pizza is cooked around 700 degrees for 90 minutes or so

You making pizza flavored charcoal?
I can't imagine eating any pizza after it's cooked for 90 minutes at 700 degrees.
:chuckle: :chuckle: mmm charcoal.  Most pizza ovens run 500-600 and you fire the pizzas for 5-6 minutes spin and a couple more minutes 10 tops at those temps.  A hotter oven and you are heading into kiln territory.  Hmmmm wonder if any of my ceraics and glass friends have cooked with their kilns  :dunno:

I imagine it was meant to be seconds and not minutes. I've cooked pizza in and know many that cook in wood fired ovens in the 900+ range and 90 seconds is pretty typical for a fully cooked pizza.

90 seconds  :DOH:


So used to cooking in minutes I slipped up, meant seconds. 700 degrees is actually kind of the minimum temp for pizza



I've been wanting to make an oven and outdoor cook kitchen for BBQ, smoke and grilling and baking so been researching on it some.  I'll defer to 92xj since he's actually cooked in an oven this hot.

You should totally make an outdoor wood fire oven. As soon as we get into a new, larger house, that's going to be one of the first things I to build, I'm all out of outdoor cooking space at this house. I've researched and read every backyard oven build Google has found me. There are many options and pictures out there and it seems the best way to build the dome on whatever base you like is with wet sand as a mold to build around then scoop out the sand.
We make a lot of bread as well as pizza so we will build one that cooks those the best.

Wood fired ovens can become a kiln if you use the right fuel  :chuckle:

Check out the akorn grill. It's a komodo style . Way cheaper then an egg and cooks very well.  I really enjoy mine
