Hi. I'd like to build a small pizza oven, that can emulate a real one.
Back in Italy the following project got a good success.

Basically the base would be something like a square of 15" and 3 or 4"
high. It should be made of rather cheap "refractory" stone (???) I am
not sure this is the correct english term for this. It can be found in
any local construction store (at least in Europe).

Such a small oven would be very fast to heat up and would allow
temperatures in the raneg of 900-1000 F, ideal to coock a thin crust
pizza in one or two minutes, like in a real wood-oven.

The hard part is to find the electrical heater, powerful enough and able
to work at 1000F. Any idea where to find this kind of material, or a
newsgroup more specialized in this kind of "do-it-yourself" operations?

bye!
Alessio

A great resource for you would be www.pizzamaking.com . It's a great website
with very active discussions on ovens, ingredients, techniques, recipes,
etc.
