Portable Campfire Pizza Oven Build

- This video shows how I built a portable wood-fired pizza oven that's inexpensive, easy to build, weighs only 7.5 pounds, and can be carried easily in a backpack. And it makes fantastic pizza too! See brainright.com/Projects/PizzaO... for a list of all the materials and tools I used.

This outperforms most of the diy builds I've seen and some of the off the shelf solutions!
Thanks, we've had fun with it and I hope you build one for yourself.
There are so many great ideas here; from the components used, the design and the execution. Thanks.
Excellent idea and presentation! I continue to be impressed with your ingenuity and practicality.
That's a brilliant little pizza oven (and the pizza looked pretty good too). Top job Jay, nice one 👍
Oh and... You've got to love any project where testing the quality of your engineering involves having to eat pizza 😀
Greetings and salutations from a French man in the UK. Great idea! Thanks for sharing. All that's missing is a nice bottle of red wine!
Just tested out my oven built by your design and I couldn’t be happier with the results! It’s a great piece of equipment, very economical to make and the results are fantastic! It’s going on my next family camping trip. Thank you so much for sharing your design and experience!
Thanks, glad you found this useful and I hope you enjoy using it.
Thanks for sharing. Loved it! Such a clever design!
Glad you found it useful. We've used the oven quite a lot and it's been great for overland trips.
Love the design
Excellent! Great design, informative video. I am making one.
Wow, great design! Gotta try this.
Nice video, Jay! And a great idea, as well.
This is the best wood-fired portable pizza oven idea I have seen.
Looks very light-weight, which makes it very portable, imho.
Bonus points for low-cost and ease of DIY.
Thanks for sharing your video, BrainRight!
Glad you like it, and I hope you'll make one too.
I absolutely LOVE this idea! Thank you for sharing, sir. :)
You're welcome. It's worked well for us and is easy to transport when camping in our new camper van.
I didn't actually realise it was a 15 min video, It was captivating, excellent job
Thank you so much for sharing your idea sir.I will be making one soon
Any day with pizza Is a good day. Thanks for posting.
Brilliant idea and we'll presented. Thanks 👍
Glad you liked it. We recently used this oven at a backwoods pizza party for 16 people and it worked great, really easy to fit in our new camper van too.
Nice build! Simple design and works well. A little thicker stone and bigger coal bed with a little less flame on the fire and I think you’re in the zone. Great job!
Thanks and yes I agree, I've already got a thicker stone to try and I'll post an update once I've tried it out.
BrainRight I make my own fire brick for my pizza ovens using sand and water glass, you can make it any size very cheap. You could even make it the same size as your space in the pan for more thermal mass.
Interesting successful experiment. Clever idea. Thanks
Thank you! Cheers!
Very nice , very innovative
Thank you Sir.
Beautiful...
Thank you! Cheers!
This is exactly what I was looking for. Literally as simple as it gets and I could set this on top of my weber kettle or maybe even on my gas grill.
Glad you found it useful. I think it would work okay on a grill but probably wouldn't get as much heat on top (from flames washing over the roof) so would probably make more like a conventional oven and would probably take a bit longer to cook. When I use a grill I just put a pizza stone right on the grill grate and it makes good pizza that way so you might want to try that before building something like this.
Great idea👍🏻🍕 cheers from Denmark🇩🇰
Thank you! Cheers!
good idea ❤❤❤
Good idea! After all this, time to pizza and alot of beers😉
Love it
Man ! if you go on with youtube , you would have millions of subscription
Jay, thank you for this excellent video. Brilliant idea, using those standardized food pans. I had expected a lack of thermal radiation from above the pizza, but there seems to be enough coming from the flames?
I'm very tempted to build one of these with a rocket stove underneath as the heat source. 🤔
I expect that would work, although it wouldn't be as portable.
I like your Shamrock Farms Milk crate!
Yes I recommend Shamrock Farms milk crates for all metalworking projects. :-)
Great idea ! I wonder if it’s the newspaper that’s putting all the ash in the pizza oven , also I wonder if drilling a whole lot of small holes around the outside instead of having one big hole at the back will help with ash and control of heat ( kind of simulate the Ooni pizza oven ( I know they are gas )
I think it's mainly the wood fire that's bringing ash into the oven, and it (usually) lacks the super-high heat that tends to burn off all the ash in a large wood-fired oven. It's no big deal for us though, because we assemble our pizzas on parchment so the pizza never contacts the pizza stone directly and doesn't accumulate any noticeable ash on the top during the brief cooking time. Using parchment is a tradeoff but it has worked out well. Having lots of small holes could certainly work, though it wouldn't get the flames washing over the roof like we do so it would probably behave more like a conventional oven and less like a broiler.
great job!! i wonder how good a propane stove(like the one's they use for cooking in chinese cuisine) would work here, it's easier to use than wood when it comes to maintaining temperature
Thanks. I'm sure you could make a good pizza oven that uses propane, and no doubt it would be easier to maintain temperature. But I prefer using wood for a portable oven to take hiking and camping because I don't need to carry fuel with me.
@@BrainRight cheers!
Hi! How can you make this so you have the fire compact inside? For when you don’t want an open fire?
I think that any oven with a fire inside is going to be bigger and less portable. That's a tradeoff I made, to make the oven itself as light and portable as possible.
Could you simplify it by offsetting the two pans instead of cutting the big hole? Maybe cut slots for the threaded rods instead of holes so you would not have to remove the thumbscrews, just loosen them a bit to disassemble it. Finally, would some kind of insulation on the top make it more efficient and a bit safer?
Those ideas sound like they could work. The insulation might make it harder to pack into a small size (which is important in our new camper van) and efficiency isn't a big concern when it's fueled with sticks. It actually seems to be fairly well balanced in terms of producing good pizza with a "medium-sized" fire so a design change would take some experimentation to get it dialed in. We just took it on an overlanding trip and it worked great making pizzas for 6 people.
You are cool. And your wife also! PIZZA is my religion.
Its a great job....wife should be more supportive next time :)
Wood fired pizza! How's pizza gonna get a job now?
Ottimo inizio ma usare il gpl per creare la fiamma è molto meglio, più pulito più pratico e più semplice anche perché ottieni lo stesso risultato senza mangiare una pizza nera. Si vede che non riesci a controllare il calore a differenza di un uso della fiamma regolata dal rubinetto del gas. Provare per credere. Comunque complimenti per l'impegno.
This is great! Question: do you think adding stainless steel mesh to the opening of the bottom tray, above the fire would cut down on the amount of ash coming into the oven?
Thanks! A stainless mesh might reduce the ash, but if it's fine enough to make a difference I think it would also cut the airflow and might make it harder to get flames passing above the top of the pizza. I do get some ash coming in but it's not much different than a typical wood-fired oven in that regard.
The ash is extra flavor! LOL!

I like very much burned 😅 pizza 🍕
550 F is optimum for pizza.
wood fired pizza ovens run on beech, as other wood create ash that is flying around the oven and ends up on the pizza, ruining the taste
I will build this with Gas!
I was searching for this type of diy oven for ages , thank you for not only building it but also explaining it in detail, How about making a version 2 with rotating pizza stone ?
