Lovin my Oven

I've only been cooking in it for a little over a week and it's all been pretty basic, but I'm really loving this kind of cooking.

And of coarse, more pizza!

That's beautiful!!!

Y'know, Lancaster isn't that far from me. . . . . . Hmmmmmm.

Build thread? I am looking at building a pizza oven in the backyard one of these days...

Looks awesome...

You bet.

HAHA!!!

I have read that site since I saw it on Lifehacker (or Gizmodo)...

Well done sir, well done indeed....

So jealous right now.............


That is one sweet looking oven to have in your backyard :rockin:

The might be the greatest thing I've ever seen. How much did the materials run and how long did it take to build. Is this something a dude with some building skills could manage or do you need to be a skilled mason with special tools?

My fiancee's parents just built one of these from the same website. Took my to be father in law about 3 weeks to build. He isn't a mason, but does have good home repiar/building skills. From what he said, they pretty much lay everything you need out on the site. So far, we've made some awesome pizza in it.

Hmmm... just added another project to my list for when we buy a house down here. I have my eye on one house that has the perfect area for some year-round outdoor cooking (not that I didn't do some outdoor cooking in the snow back in NY...)

That is some really nice work and some good looking pizza!

It took me most of the summer to build, working a few hours at a time. I can't imagine doing it in three weeks but maybe I'm just slow. I've been around construction a long time but I've never laid a brick in my life, before this. The biggest expense, tool wise, would have been the 10" wet saw I used for cutting the bricks, but I was lucky enough to borrow one from a friend. Altogether it cost maybe a grand so far, but I bought everything new. You could save money by scrounging used materials, I guess.

Awsome DIY! Well done! Regards, GF.

YOU SUCK!!!



I am teh jealous...

wow, jealous much, well done!
