Well, I've added the final page on how I insulated my oven - check it out here. I hope you find this page and all the other information provided useful and inspiring. Please contact me with any comments of questions you might have, or share images and ideas from your own brick oven projects.

The sad news is we've since sold the house and moved! Our new place also has a brick oven, but it has some serious design flaws. So stand by for my pizza oven makeover blog - coming soon!

The second page of info on building the dome is up - that oven is really starting to take shape!

And:

The Base, Part II – in which I back-fill the base and cap it off with a layer of insulated concrete…

Check it out and enjoy!
