I’ve built 3 of these ovens over the years and there is a million steps, it’s over whelming, when people ask is it DIY friendly? I say no, from knowing where to source materials to the actual time it takes. Just for the oven it takes about 40/50 hours to make, let alone the stand, and everything else associated with it.
@@VinnyGjokaj I agree with you there, it is very time consuming. But I’ve seen some quite good DIY ovens built (and some bad ones). It’s a very satisfying thing to do though
@@SamDaviesBuilder I watched a video just today on one that is arched but not dome shaped. It seems more doable for a novice like me, but I still love the shape and design of this one.
Thanks! Yes it was a lot of work but worth it. Make sure you subscribe to me as I’ve just started another pizza oven, first video of the base is already out
Thankyou. Make sure you watch my new series on my channel of building another oven, it’s going to be an even better one! (Plus it’s for myself this time!) 😃
Amazing build I want to build one but have no space in the corner anywhere so I build one on wheels with barrel also insulated. I use venturi burner (DIY)
Great work. A wonderful home project. I can cobble together the refractory bricks, but what kind of cement do I use which will resist the heat? Will regular Portland cement be okay?
Thanks! You need to use Fondu cement, silica sand and fireclay if you are mixing your own mortar. It’s easier to buy tubs of ready to use (just add water) mortar to lay the bricks with though
Great job .my advice to anyone building an oven is to make your chimney flow as big as possible so the smoke escapes from it rather than from the front
Thanks for the tips! We did actually open up the chimney a bit more in the arch with the grinder as we found the smoke came out of the front a bit as you said
I've been laying brick & stone since I was a teenager working with my dad and brothers (and some sisters). I've only built two ovens and they were both in kit form. Im 61 now and still working full time, i believe it's time i biuld one of these in my backyard. I've used some radius points laying stem walls for different foundations but the one you used to build the inner firebrick dome was really fun to watch. Is there a specific name for it? I've watched some other videos similar to this one and honestly they were somewhat painful to watch. I'm happy to say this wasn't one of those videos, nice job!
Thankyou for your kind words and please share some pictures with me when you complete your oven. This oven was for a customer, I plan on building my own this summer. I’m not sure of the name of what I did for the inner dome but they call the arm an ‘indispensable tool’ - I think it’s just an oven builder’s nickname for it though! Glad to hear you’re still working full time, there’s something relaxing about laying brick and building stone walls (the nice jobs anyway!)
Hi, thank you! I used the following materials....(some I have't got quantities on as customer supplied materials): Firebricks Ceramic blanket Ceramic fire board for underneath the base bricks Mortar mix: Silica sand, fondu cement and fireclay mixed together. I think it was 3 sand, 1 fireclay and 1 cement Mesh wire to go on top of ceramic blanket Perlite mixed with cement as first coat on top of ceramic blanket Another coat of perlite with cement but this time with a bit of sand too to give a finer finish Any other questions please ask away!
Thankyou! Sorry I don’t have sizes or how many bricks as the customer provided all this. Please subscribe to my channel though as I am building one for myself and I will keep a record of all the sizes etc when I do it
Not sure how many fire bricks. I will be doing one in the future with a list of all materials. On this one I used silica sand and fondu cement to fix the bricks together, ceramic blanket as insulation, perlite mixed with cement as the layer on top of the insulation and then sand and cement render as the final smooth coat. Hope this helps!
Yea if you cook pizzas one evening then put a door on it, you’ll still cook meat, bread etc the next day without anymore logs. I’m doing my own pizza oven so check out the series on my channel, it’ll be better than this one!
Not sure on total cost sorry as it was for a customer. You’d need an angle grinder and possibly a cement mixer but you could do it without one just be a lot of hard work!
It’s called an ‘indispensable tool’ and it’s just made out of a castor wheel off a trolley attached to a bit of wood with angled metal on the end to hold the brick in place
Realy nice work! Beautiful! But i think, if you hadn´t used this styrofoam under the firebricks they would lay more stable and wouldn´t sink down like they did...
@@SamDaviesBuilder oh, my bad! I thought it was, because some stones in the last scenes where a little bit up and down... although you did a fantastic job! Thumbs up!
Great advice, Thank you very much Sam! 🤙, is the ceramic insulation the white material you laid the fire bricks on and wrapped the dome in I’m assuming it is. I will be doing a video similar to your however my version will have lots of F’s and Geoff’s in whilst kicking bricks 😂.
Yea that's the ceramic insulation, there's a rigid version for laying the bricks on and a flexible version for outside the dome. The rigid vision for under the bricks is called 'calcium silicate board'. Ah I think all pizza ovens have a lot of F's and Geoff's built in to them , all my versions have!!
What a great build!!! Can I ask the amount of bricks you had to use to build the oven - with the "entrance". I mean "firesafe" bricks? Thanks again for shearing this video!!!
Thanks! Sorry, I don't know the exact amount as the customer supplied the bricks. In the future I will build my own oven and do a video with all the material amounts on it!
@@SamDaviesBuilder Thanks, Yeah I’ve not done brick laying before or any DIY on this scale besides paving lol. So I have been collecting the various things I’m going to need before I start.

@@rob280967 what’s on your materials list so far? I’ve got a load of stuff ready for mine and I’m planning on doing a bbq on the side of it too 😃. Can’t wait for that first meal with it done!
@@SamDaviesBuilder Hi Sam, So I’m trying to do it on a low budget however if it’s a specific product or tool needed I will buy it. So I have 700 London bricks 550 cream 150 red probably more than I need, 12 concrete blocks, 4 bags of cement and 12 bags of builders sand also some liquid you used in your video on how to make a small mix. Tools for laying and cutting bricks, level, brick ties for my own peace of mind lol. Once I get to the level of laying the pizza base I intend to make a circular frame for the concrete base. Then lay the fire bricks on top then commence the dome. Did you use fire bricks for the dome it looked like you did?
Nice job, whats the size of the base? And approximately how many bricks were needed to complete the whole oven please reply. If you can share the blueprints of the design. It would be helpful. Again, remarkable work!
Hi, thanks. I don't have any measurements or how many bricks I used I am sorry - this oven was for a customer and he supplied everything. I am building my own oven this summer and I will keep a record of everything so please subscribe for when I do.
Calcium silicate board. If you go on my channel I’m doing a series on how to build a pizza oven and the latest episode is doing the firebrick floor and the insulation below it
The tool I use is a trolley wheel that can rotate, you take the wheel off and then just bolt a piece of wood onto it. You can then mount the the trolley wheel in the centre of your oven floor. Something like this wheel: www.screwfix.com/p/select-heavy-duty-swivel-castor-40mm/6748P?kpid=6748P&ds_rl=1244072&gclid=Cj0KCQjw9deiBhC1ARIsAHLjR2AhqSPeAMhF_Fl1EdvmfjgnEQQKIoX8S1cCyov0Ovhex8K57PFRrW8aAgB-EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

@@scottlussier6232 no problem at all and good luck with your project. If you have any more questions as you progress, and please don’t hesitate to ask and share with me the finished article
Yea it worked well, we have plenty of room to the side too so was ideal. We didn’t want too much more depth in front of the oven as it’s hard to get close if you need to then
Nice build. With that dome height, you have any issues with getting enough heat from above? I see a lot of Italian ovens that have a squashed shape inside so the top is much lower. Trying to learn what kind of difference that makes.
I think when I do one again I will do a squashed shape like you say on top as from what I have now seen that seems to be the better way to maximise the heat in the oven.
Polystyrene melting at 210-250 C degrees. Maybe before it had some pollution of chemicals. Didn't the pizza taste weird? I'm not being mean, just wondering.
Sorry I haven’t got quantities or measurements for this one but I’m doing another one this summer. I will film it and have a full breakdown of the important bits!
Hi Jason, I used a ready made mix suitable for firebricks and also I made my own using fireclay, silica sand and fondu cement mixed together.

@@SamDaviesBuilder well, if the hot air with smoke is to be discharged I suppose chimeny should be on the opposite side of the opening, but perhaps this is not usual and the intent is to circulate hot air inside before being exhausted. Then the chimeny should be on the left or right side, I'm really confused.

Hi Jason, I used a ready made mix suitable for firebricks and also I made my own using fireclay, silica sand and fondu cement mixed together. Check out my latest pizza oven build series where I give more detail on a lot of it:

@ legend thank you.
What's the tool in de middle of the oven called to rotate the arm to lay the bricks?
It’s called an ‘indispensable tool’. It’s a castor wheel with a bit of wood attached to it and a bracket on the end of it. Very cheap to make! All the stuff is available in any good diy shop
@@SamDaviesBuilder Thank you very much! I found a nice tutorial of this tool on TH-cam.
glad to hear and wish you all the best with your project. I will do my own tutorial on the arm on the next pizza oven!@@arthurvanobost7381
Why is the chimeny kept at top of the opening ? Should it not be placed on the opposite side of the opening?
Just the way it was designed and looking at the way other ovens had it, which way would you say it would work better?
@@SamDaviesBuilder well, if the hot air with smoke is to be discharged I suppose chimeny should be on the opposite side of the opening, but perhaps this is not usual and the intent is to circulate hot air inside before being exhausted. Then the chimeny should be on the left or right side,
I'm really confused.
@@DustyAnimations have you got an example of another oven with the design you say? I haven't really seen any with the chimney any different to this
@@SamDaviesBuilder I haven't either. But I'm still wondering why in front and not on top of the fire stack.
@@DustyAnimations I’m sure someone has worked it out and that’s why the chimneys are all in this position
How much day it take
Not sure, I will keep note of the next oven I do for how long it takes.
A dome out of bricks is impressive, not just "nice work"!
Thankyou! Anyone could build a dome with a small amount of practice though
