As a mechanical engineer I really appreciate your way of telling people that they don't need a big workshop and complex tools to make useful stuff at home! Keep it up!
Haxman does demonstrate that well. Of course, that is basic to "the American way" & hot rodding, which sprang from need for parts or repairs not elsewise available. I was trained to avoid waste by buying or building the best available, properly maintain to prevent breakage or premature wear, & repair, rather than throw away. Never throw away what is repairable or useful. If replacing, give it to someone who needs it. Hax got it goin' on.
You took me back 50 years man. My grandmother built one pizza oven by herself from clay, right in her yard . Given my grandpa was the kind to "I'll make it later", she took the initiative . She got a large barrel cover , and mixed clay with hay . She built walls and roof , and placed the barrel cover (cooking surface) in the middle . She made the best pita bread and Mediterranean pizzas right in her backyard . She paid nothing for the oven. OF course, my grandpa came at the end to criticize and suggest improvements. Thanks for reminding me of my grandparents.
That's my hubby.. always later, years goes by and when I decide to do it myself, all the criticism comes in. I'm watching this video because I'm tired of waiting 😂
You are some kind of genius. You have an engaging narrative style, but what blows me away even more is your willingness to experiment and make adjustments as needed based on the resources at hand and the problems encountered.
You've just given me over here in England an idea. I don't know if you're seen what our old fashioned letter boxes look like, but I know I see a big red Pillarbox shaped pizza oven in my future.
Watching you adapt and overcome every little problem is a true joy to watch! Using the die to thread the handles was AAAA-maaazing!!! You a smart man der buddy!! 10/10!! Would always recommend.
Haxman, this was very nostalgic for me in so many ways. I went to College in Nashville, Vanderbilt 1970. so there-s the accent nostalgia. both my bro and I are very do it yourselfers. He eventually moved to Tennessee and raised his 4 girls there (he passed last September) I'm more of the bookish type but I do a lot of my own cooking and jerry rigging things I don't have. We are also great jokesters and your side comments and rising up in the barrel made me smile many times. Thanks for this. I look forward to more of your content. Jim Retired to Mexico 🧨✨
As a city dweller all I can do is admire what ever it is that you are doing. I can't have a fire pit no matter how smokeless it is. Nor can I have a garden of build a fence. I have however in my 58 years had a Pizza or 2, who am I kidding as an Italian Pizza is it's own food group. You sir need to bake that Pizza a little while longer. It looked floppy and I didn't hear any crunch when you bit into it. Make me proud that I have something to contribute and char the bottom of your next pie. God bless you sir and well done. .....Yes that too, the Pizza should be well done.
I just commented similarly and glad to see confirmation of my humble opinion. Pizza is always a work in progress and even slightly undercooked eats well enough until next cook... In my line of work, I only understand food but I'm here to learn what you engineering minds will share. I love to hang out with the smart guys and always try to trade dinner for the opportunity to do so.
Always remember when cutting metal with a cutting disk on a grinder, the sparks will stick to glass and ruin it permanently. Avoid shooting sparks in any direction of glass windows, camera lense, etc.
I've found that a regular charcoal grill works pretty great as a pizza oven. Put a pizza stone on it and then cover with a lid. Let it sit over the coals for about 5-10 minutes and you're golden
You know two of the things I enjoy most about watching your videos with my daughter? It proves all Dads are goofballs and you don’t need plans and prep to build great projects😂. I am building this for sure👍
Good pizza oven. A recommendation, put some rebar in the cement slates. It will give the slate more structure. You will be putting little loads. But the slates loaded or not tend to break in the middle, more so when there are thermal changes. Thermal resistant cement, is no exception to this rule of the thumb. So when you have to change it, put a small grid of 0,4 or 0,6 rebars grill in there. The slate will come more wholesome and will not crumble easy.
Alright there John C. Riley Voice over pizza oven maker!! You rock dude!!! Maybe one I will attempt that and share with you!!! Thanks for going throught that and showing the world it isn't that hard to do it just jump over the hurdles as you go!
A minor adjustment recommendation: cut the top part open of the barrel and get an old/used 22” weber kettle lid to mimic the dome shape traditional brick oven. Mod the lid to put on an exhaust/ chimney. But first use the lid from your kettle to see if it can be a perfect fit. Would love to see how that would turns out
Your suggestion isn't bad, however, it's more about using his already open fire pit, the least items to purchase so it's as financially cheap as possible and if you note the temp he got ...a chimney allows more heat to escape. It may look more appealing in respect to other types of outdoor ovens but this works best as it is. Metal, however won't hold the heat like brick will when the fire dies. He probably could have cooked right pizzas if they were ready to go one after another without adding wood. Your idea has looks but I married a high maintenance woman and looks are not always the best choice. A barrel that hot eventually burns out but hey, it will last two or more years with fairly frequent use. Unfortunately the stupid green freaks are attacking anything wood burning as they want to be dependent on the grid and constant rate increases.
@@franksters08 No prob, I'm laughing,. divorced back iin 91, she turned into a meth head, has been with four guys since and married her drug counselor who is probably ice picking his brain.
@luckyree9 All the water heaters I've seen are very thin walled steel and more like tin foil compared to drum stee. Water heaters are usually two thin walls with insulation between.anf a waste of your time .
@ster chimney is for single chamber ovens. This is two chambers. Anywho the chimney is to let smoke out. Its already letting smoke out. Also dont need dome. Domes radiate heat inward using stone radiant heat. This one is made of steel not stone. The heat source is also from beneath in separate chamber. This is more like a grill oven than a stone pizza oven.
All my life using a caulking gun, I didn't know you could cut the top and puncture the tube using the gun. If only for this reason, you have a new subscriber!
Hallelujah! Finally a design I can accomplish! I’ve literally watched an embarrassing amount of hours of video on this topic! I did like your paver design but I really wanted a barrel oven! You always ✅ all the boxes for me! Definitely trying this soon! Thanks! Love your channel!
I built my version of this about 5 years ago. Used threaded rod to build a rack in the upper 1/3 and put an 18" pizza stone in it. Saves tons of time/labor and never have to worry about degradation over time from the extreme heat. Favorite fuel is lump charcoal with a chunk of wood from time to time. Good stuff!
Has your steel drum held up? As hot as a fire you run in it, I wondered if the metal started burning through? I've used tons of burn barrels and they last a year or so.
I never knew about that section of the silicone gun that you can chop the tip off. I just love learning new stuff. Sometimes it's the little things! 🤣🤣🤣
I put that in the video because I showed that in a previous video and several people said the same thing. You never know what little piece of info someone might find useful. 😁
I honestly had no idea whatsoever that I wanted to build a pizza oven just like that...I do. Y'know I admit it, I watch a fair bit of random stuff on TH-cam so I think I have lofty monetizable expert opinion...if there's a trophy for best video on the Internet today THIS video is my #1 choice. (Yeah I dunno which I love most, pizza of clever Make-Do Technology...so HAXMAN, your Pizza Oven video is probably winning tomorrow & more than a few days afterwards too. Keep on keeping on man, you're nailing it!!
Hey, Did you measure temperatures in the oven during cooking? I was thinking it may be advantageous to have a concrete layer on the top of the oven too. Wait never mind. Just rewatched and saw the temp measurement.
Just found your channel, I've watched 5 videos already. I'm not a DIY'er but I used to be. I'm crippled now, and your video's crack me up. It's not just the drugs I'm taking, it's you. Thank you for being funny and human!
Glad you learned from the paver pizza oven - FIRE AWAY FROM FINGERS! HAHA And put the fire on the opposite side. Fire lessons are always quickly remembered!! LOL You really do some fun projects!
Mawage. Mawage is what bwings us togethah today. Mawwiage, that bwessed awwangement, that dweam wifin a dream! Mawage bwtween a fiwe pit and a pizzah oven.
When I saw the sparks going toward the camera, I thought.... I hope he's using a filter. They're cheaper then a lens! After watching two of your pizza oven projects, I'm convinced spending the money for a commercial oven is the way to go. _And I'm a pretty handy guy!_
First video watch, great job! I appreciate your family man aspect. Having worked in a pizza shop I agree, there is no substitute for baking on a stone. The only thing I would suggest is a stone cap inside. Same mold just spin it 180. Thanks
9:49 whaaaat??? I've been cutting my caulk with scissors or a blade for YEARS!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! (And I've diy'd lots of projects over the last 12 years since being a homeowner, ex laid ceramic tile, renovated an entire bathroom and kitchen, rewired my basement, installed solar panels, built a fence around my whole backyard, built a chicken coop and a green house, etc by watching hours and hours of TH-cam. But using a caulk gun seems SO basic, i neglected to "learn" about them.) Oh yeah, great build for the pizza oven!!
Pizza looked tasty. Just a thought, if you put a plastic bag over your magnetic sweep, you can easily remove all those metal filings by reversing it as you remove it. 😊
I have binge watched a bunch of your videos and I love em! Love the fact you put craft and family into your pro-jects! Keep it coming! Much love from sunny (not so sunny) England!!
Photography tip: Run a UV filter on the outside to protect your other filters. It's pointless as a UV filter but it does provide protection for everything else.
Just a sliver more time on the pizza to finish imo. 😊. Darker crust is just fine. Or, continue to rework dough formula. 😉. ❤️ Gets hot, looks great, love the plan rather than doing all brick \ cement. Those big drums make into fantastic cookers across the board. This may be my next project here in South Louisiana. And pizza is my main squeeze.
I have been using a caulking gun for most of my life, even making my own Lizard aquariums as a teen. I never new that the hole in the side of the gun was for cutting the tube. Mind blown.😁
Gonna have to make one of these. I like making home made pizza and this could be a cool thing to have. Could even bring it on a camping trip and after the cooking's done, remove the oven part and sit around the camp fire.
Just recently found your channel. Really cool stuff! You’re relatable and explain things well. I just wish I could do some of these projects (or similar ones). I don’t have enough space for this kind of work nor the finances to afford the tools and materials (especially the tools). I only have a cordless drill, a set of drill bits, couple of wrenches, couple of screwdrivers and a basic circular saw. Maybe someday…
Question: Are there any health issues cooking on cement surfaces? Cement contains silica that is harmful when inhaled (dust) but i'm not sure if the same applies to high temperature cooking. Good video as always!
nice job! i was all ready planning on the smokeless fire pit this summer. as my girlfriend is a pizza junkie, guess what else i will be building. a hint on the magnet sweeper. tape a piece of parchment paper over the bottom before sweeping. when you are done, pull off the paper and the sweeper is clean.
Nice build. Instead of casting the shelf, a round pottery kiln shelf could be used. They cost about the same as the refractory cement and will last a much longer time as well.
I just used this same method to draw a half circle on my barn to cut a door out for my goats. I learned to do this from watching my dad do this for years when building things :-) Another Amazing Video Haxman!
Now this is a awesome build, why, let me tell ya. Most regular DIY have minimal powertools , unlike build your own youtube chanel s that have enough equipment to set up a factory. Epic pizza oven Prayers wishes from Cornwall UK
Great idea and I want to build one.. not to be a debby downer but the product page for the refractory cement says not for direct food contact. What would be the solution to this or just yolo it?
Just discovered the HAXMAN channel tonight. Details are great but there was a description of the channel that just came to me; Tim the Toolman without Al! Great content on prepping too without the super fear factor!
It's just one of them things if you know you know if not you gotta run into someone that knows while your doing that kinda work. I can see why people wouldn't automatically just look into that hole and see the blade and stuff. Makes sense don't feel bad not a thing you'd just bring up unless you been in this situation, now you can go spread new knowledge
I didn’t read all the comments but a useful tip I find is to put a plastic bag over the magnet 🧲 broom to collect shavings…. Once done.. just remove the bag and dispose… your magnet broom stays clean
Nice job!! I may even try making one for us, just a tip for what it's worth - have you thought of placing a plastic bag or cloth over your magnetic broom before using it. Helps get the shavings off without sticking to the magnet.
Well dang! this is inspirational!!! Need brand of refracted cement and paint, but mostly... yess... pizza dough recipe would be good too!! Very well done!!!
Man, you are so entertaining to watch, and I learn a lot from you as well ... I specially love the Herbert voice soo much lol .. Thanks for the laughs, man .. you rock
mmmm fresh off the fresh concrete... dunno about that... think i'd be using a pizza stone on top of that concrete for a while until the toxins burn out of it. Great job on the firepit and super job with the removable oven... Once I can get across the border, going to get me one of those feed troughs from tractor supply, you've inspired me
When it rains, it pours, right Adam?? Some days nothing goes the way it should. Imagine having one of those days while doing a root canal on a patient. Been there done that. Other days, everything works right. Very innovative pizza oven. Pizza looks good. Fun project! Thanks Adam!!
You’re roughly my age, and I just want you to know, you’re living my dream life. I love your videos, your sense of humor, and I would LOVE to hang out if you’re ever in Anchorage, Alaska!
First time viewer therefore this is my first comment: my gosh, R2D2, you’re a real living Ted the Toolman! Your finesse is pure joy to watch! What precision, mastery of equipment! Your duct tape thief is cute and you have two more? Lucky you. So I think I need to subscribe. Keep entertaining us! Thanks.
its cool you did it DIY, love the use of a barrel... but instead of the concrete baking pad, i think using a baking steel inserted on top of some rebar support might result in some better pizza. just drill some holes to slide some rebar thru the side.
you want more of a furnace for cooking pizza. one door at the bottom for fuel, one at the top for the oven, make it tight and a few pinholes around the bottom for a REALLY hot fire. Make the top door 1/2 of the barrel, for a BIG pizza.
Just found your channel..I think your hilarious and informative at the same time..ohhh and your "mawage" fom the princess bride was fantastic...made me subscribe immediately...

The whole point of a pizza oven is to make pizza that isn't soggy. Agree 100%. Stoke the heat higher and/or cook more.

Good pizza oven. A recommendation, put some rebar in the cement slates. It will give the slate more structure. You will be putting little loads. But the slates loaded or not tend to break in the middle, more so when there are thermal changes. Thermal resistant cement, is no exception to this rule of the thumb. So when you have to change it, put a small grid of 0,4 or 0,6 rebars grill in there. The slate will come more wholesome and will not crumble easy.

A minor adjustment recommendation: cut the top part open of the barrel and get an old/used 22” weber kettle lid to mimic the dome shape traditional brick oven.

you could always just put whatever youre cooking on cookie sheet or something
You could probably skip the whole cement thing and find a legit pizza stone or the latest and greatest pizza steel online to fit the barrel.

Yep! About $77 for a 21" x 3/4" round. Much higher heat potential.
Sensational. You should make a simple door out of the piece you cut out, and see if you could bake bread in there !

Cool idea.. but man that pizza looks awful. No char, soft and doughy.
should have kept it in longer. temp was adequate for it
I'm going to say that this steel barrel pizza oven is awesome!!! can't wait to make my own!!
Man! You had me at “Used it to make a high flow intake for my Camaro!” Love it! Subscription sold!
WOW moment!! Not only is the project cool, but I just learned tricks with the adhesive holder..
U'v shown so many of us 2 nvr attempt this! 🤪 But man oh man, that pizza did look mighty fine! 🍕😍
I’m actually building an off grid cabin and think this would be a great addition! Thank you again
Another great video! Your "kerf" form..... had me rolling on the floor. Definitely something i would do.
15:19 This is a fantastic Ron White impression.
Oh My Gosh! I have been caulking stuff for Years and never knew that hole on the caulking gun was to cut the tip with!!! Life changing!
😁 That’s why I like to throw that stuff in there.
1st time viewer here. Loved everything about this video, especially your quotes and voice impersonations!
I have used caulk like idk....uh....100 times and I never knew that cutter was there. Mind blown lol...thanks for teaching me something I didn't know
Now this is a awesome build, why, let me tell ya. Most regular DIY have minimal powertools , unlike build your own youtube chanel s that have enough equipment to set up a factory. Epic pizza oven
Prayers wishes from Cornwall UK
Great idea - looks amazing!
I only wish you had a shot of the bottom of your cooked pizza to show how it cooked underneath.
Great idea and I want to build one.. not to be a debby downer but the product page for the refractory cement says not for direct food contact. What would be the solution to this or just yolo it?
Love the princess bride reference when u said marriage at the beginning! Your amazing for that thank u
In addition to enjoying your video -- i had forgotten that magnetic sweeping tools existed. THANK you for the reminder. Good safety clean-up device.
Nice! I built an UDPO (Ugly Drum Pizza Oven) year ago when I was in Germany. Still works to this day!
a briquette box underneath would be great for people that don't have fire pits, that is awesome!
Just discovered the HAXMAN channel tonight. Details are great but there was a description of the channel that just came to me; Tim the Toolman without Al! Great content on prepping too without the super fear factor!
All these years and I never knew there was a hole to cut the caulk tube end. Lol and yes the pizza looks great.
Lol I was kind of annoyed with myself for never knowing that myself 🤣
It's just one of them things if you know you know if not you gotta run into someone that knows while your doing that kinda work. I can see why people wouldn't automatically just look into that hole and see the blade and stuff. Makes sense don't feel bad not a thing you'd just bring up unless you been in this situation, now you can go spread new knowledge
I didn’t read all the comments but a useful tip I find is to put a plastic bag over the magnet 🧲 broom to collect shavings…. Once done.. just remove the bag and dispose… your magnet broom stays clean
I gotta say I am howling😂😂 no joke we have literally the exact same sense of humor😂😂🤣🤣
That's amazing! ..and it just goes right on top your fire pit. Bravoo!
Again, nice job. Tip; when using the magnet sweeper put a plastic bag over it to easily dispose of the metal chips after.
Nice job!! I may even try making one for us, just a tip for what it's worth - have you thought of placing a plastic bag or cloth over your magnetic broom before using it. Helps get the shavings off without sticking to the magnet.
I used hardibacker as my pizza "stone" and it worked quite well. Lots easier than making a mold and mixing concrete.
Hello bro I love your work and I will make one like this soon . Greetings from Suriname 🇸🇷. Thanks and keep the good work .
Well dang! this is inspirational!!! Need brand of refracted cement and paint, but mostly... yess... pizza dough recipe would be good too!! Very well done!!!
Man, you are so entertaining to watch, and I learn a lot from you as well ... I specially love the Herbert voice soo much lol ..
Thanks for the laughs, man .. you rock
Smart idea with the tape
Great vid - and PERFECT English accent!
(I’m from England) 👏👏👏
mmmm fresh off the fresh concrete... dunno about that... think i'd be using a pizza stone on top of that concrete for a while until the toxins burn out of it. Great job on the firepit and super job with the removable oven... Once I can get across the border, going to get me one of those feed troughs from tractor supply, you've inspired me
When it rains, it pours, right Adam?? Some days nothing goes the way it should. Imagine having one of those days while doing a root canal on a patient. Been there done that. Other days, everything works right. Very innovative pizza oven. Pizza looks good. Fun project! Thanks Adam!!
😬 I’ve been in the chair before. Thanks!
You’re roughly my age, and I just want you to know, you’re living my dream life. I love your videos, your sense of humor, and I would LOVE to hang out if you’re ever in Anchorage, Alaska!
EXCELLENT VIDEO and Entertaining too...
Thank you for sharing this great video.
Nice! Great weekend project and a tasty benefit too. Good job HAX!
Thanks Gord!
Loved the video. Maybe you could add a door flap to make sure it keeps the heat in more and really gets a lovely top on the cheese and pepperoni.
yeah! it works! i'm planning to make one. from south korea~
Awesome video dude. Stumbled onto your channel and glad I did, got a bunch of laughs watching this, so thanks!
Love the unedited blunders. Good stuff and a new fan.
First time viewer therefore this is my first comment: my gosh, R2D2, you’re a real living Ted the Toolman! Your finesse is pure joy to watch! What precision, mastery of equipment! Your duct tape thief is cute and you have two more? Lucky you. So I think I need to subscribe. Keep entertaining us! Thanks.
Thank you Miri!
its cool you did it DIY, love the use of a barrel... but instead of the concrete baking pad, i think using a baking steel inserted on top of some rebar support might result in some better pizza. just drill some holes to slide some rebar thru the side.
I'd question eating anything cooked on concrete, especially a funky mix like that bucket.
This one tops my list of doable designs I might give this a try!
Oh brilliant ! Love the ideas people come up with and cheap. Cheers and thanks for posting. Nice pizza mate !
awesome idea......this is what UTUBE is all about!...
Thank you for putting a smile on my face while I learn. I love your videos
I'm so glad! Thank you!
you want more of a furnace for cooking pizza. one door at the bottom for fuel, one at the top for the oven, make it tight and a few pinholes around the bottom for a REALLY hot fire. Make the top door 1/2 of the barrel, for a BIG pizza.
Just found your channel..I think your hilarious and informative at the same time..ohhh and your "mawage" fom the princess bride was fantastic...made me subscribe immediately...
LOL! With in 2:38 I subscribed. I'm glad to see that i'm not the only one that these things happen too. Great video Adam!
