How I Insulated My Oven...

After a seriously long delay (sorry about that) I've finally posted some photos and instructions on how I insulated my oven. I hope you find these useful. I'll be detailing this process in 2 sections, so check out Part I in the pages list to the right of screen!

My brick oven chimney!

Here's how I built the chimney for my brick oven (see The Chimney page to the right of screen). Fewer pics than I would have liked but I think you get the idea!

The Dome - Part II

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

The first page of info on how I built the dome for my pizza oven is now up - stay tuned for The Dome Part II...

How I used clay bricks for the floor of my pizza oven...

A new page of info is up - outlining how I built the floor of my brick oven. Next step - The Dome!

I have now added info pages for:

The Base, Part I - in which I acquire my concrete bessa blocks and start building the oven base...

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!

Well, the website is slowly taking shape. I have now posted information and pictures on the Design and Foundation stages (see the pages to the right of the Home page). Thanks to those who have visited the site so far - I hope it proves more interesting and useful as I add more detail. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments too.

Stay tuned, brick oven fans!
