Title: Pizza oven is done....well almost, first pizza out of the oven
Post by: denali on September 25, 2016, 11:33:51 PM: I still have some work to do but it is fired up and cooking, during the curing processes we decided to throw in a pot roast and see how it would do, turned out pretty good.

The plans we used can be found here : http://duckdigital.net/Wheoh/pompeii_oven_plans2.0.pdf

we followed them closely and it worked out well, total dollars spent $ 1200-1300

I have an old coal furnace door that i will install under the oven to hold cooking utensils.

yes pretty much fallowed the linked instructions, one thing i will add is DO NOT buy the vermiculite out of the garden section of box store, it could have nitrogen fertilizer added.

it would be a several week process waiting for things to set and cure working evenings and weekends, took me longer because I work in agriculture and had little free time.

no taste of concrete or fire brick, during the curing processes I used only cherry wood for the fires and that seemed to do the trick

We are planning on having a hunt-wa TC/Basin BBQ sometime in May, That will be fun !

Yes, I need to make a long handled peel, welding gloves and singed eyebrows is not the answer :chuckle:
