Well, if you are a skilled brickmason, have at it. Even in todays world I don't know how you could build an oven that comes out this nice for much cheaper. This looks like it's brick oven for dummies proof. |

They don't show how you cut bricks to fit, trowel mortar at an angle, or notch bricks to go around the chimnet. That cast concrete support did not rain down from heaven, either. Probably would be easy for any journeyman bricklayer though -- try to marry one. |

Problem is- you still need to be a fairly skilled brickmason to build that one. All they give you is the forms to do put the first layer of cement. You'll likely get enough practice bricklaying the firebrick to do a passable job on the brick that show. and if you don't, you can always just mud the whole thing in. One of the 'plans' I saw when I was looking at ovens had you build the dome with sand-- then form mud over that. Let dry, dig out the sand. Zero cost- minimal skill needed- lasts a couple seasons. Not all that pretty. [but kind of cool, in a rustic way] Jim |

No difference if you want to bake round pizzas, because they're both 22 inches wide inside. Personally, I'd rather have an oven that I could take with me that weighed only 350 lbs, than one that required leaving over a ton of brick in a back yard when I moved. The Al Fresco looks a lot like the backyard Portuguese ovens in Hawaii. |

It's just another gimmick (like pizza stones) for the imbeciles with more dollars than brain cells. The ignorant dagos used wood ovens because they didn't have gas and electric ovens... most of Italy still hasn't gas and electric, they don't even have indoor plumbing... most guineas ever heard a terlit flush it'd scare the shit outta them.

But to each his own. Many folks where I live have similar ovens to heat their house and make hot water, cooking with them goes without saying, but very few do because temperature control requires too much tending. In fact I have a water jacketed wood stove in my basement (it's a huge thing), it will supply my baseboard heating and my domestic hot water, and I can cook on it and in it. But it's not worth the effort to tend a wood fire 24/7 and cord wood is no longer cheap. It's a heck of a lot easier to use a perforated pizza pan in a modern oven and if one wants they can use it in their outdoor grill... I make pizza in my Weber several times each summer when it's too hot to light my indoor oven. Spending thousand$ on a stupid wood oven is as dumb as dumb gets... I don't think IQs go that low. It just doesn't make sense to spend thousand$ to cook something that costs like $5. |

I love it. My friends love it and people visiting or driving by want to know about it. I hve it next to my florwer garden in my yard. People love to see it getting fired up. It is about 10 or 15 years old now and this winter it got some cracks around the door so I will have to do some repair this summer. I have gone so far as to save broken plates and pottery to try to cover it in mosaic when I get around to fixing it. I encourage you to make one. |

I have been tempted, though I only expected 2-3 years out of one. What part of the world do you live in? I'm in NY & thought the rain & snow and freeze/thaw would take a heavy toll. Jim |

The huge platform used to hold these ovens up way off the ground is off-putting. Why not put in a shorter platform and use, say, a rolling stool to sit on to load the wood and the pizzas? |

I've never been able to justify building one at my house because of the high initial cost, the cost of firewood (it ain't free here), the time it takes to get a brick oven up to temperature (for just a couple of pizzas? I think not) and the ease of finding wood oven pizza in a restaurant here. However, there are now inserts that can turn a 22 inch Weber into a pizza oven for under $150 (which I can justify). <http://slice.seriouseats.com/archives/2010/08/aftermarket-insert-turns-your-weber-kettle-grill-into-coal-fired-pizza-oven.html> -- Food is an important part of a balanced diet. |

Before investing in those contraptions bear in mind that in many municipalities wood burning is now illegal and will in all likelihood soon become banned nationwide. The laws where I live regarding burning are very strict. Several people have already been made to remove wood and pellet stoves, if a neighbor complains about smoke your stove is an instant gonner, the fire marshal will confiscate it immediately. Several people have received stiff fines for burning trash, burn barrels are illegal and the fine for a first offence is $15,000.00. http://www.health.ny.gov/environment...h_firewood.htm http://www.dec.ny.gov/chemical/58519.html If your outdoor grill smoke affends a neighbor you will be made to shut it down on the spot. |

That surprises me. A friend's brother who worked for the state of NY used to live on acreage. He spent all summer cutting up downed and dead trees with a chain saw so that he could have heat all winter. |

The regs you posted all concern open burning. Fireplaces, grills, smokers, wood-fired brick ovens are not open burning. Open burning is a bon fire, or burning ditches, or burning off weeds. You will see that there is even an allowance for smudge pots, so the concern is not especially about smoke but rather the possibility of fires spreading. Your neighbors that lost their stoves probably had stoves that were illegally installed. Janet US |

A friend's brother who worked for the state of NY >used to live on acreage. He spent all summer cutting up downed and >dead trees with a chain saw so that he could have heat all winter. Lots of folks here still heat with wood but compliance is much stricter now. You're fairly safe so long as no one turns you in but of late lots of people are being turned in for their smoke annoying neighbors (and the caller does not have to identify themself). And if it's discovered you're burning certain scrap lumber you can be in deep doodoo. More and more people around here are abandoning their wood stoves... clean cord wood is pricey and they don't want to get caught burning trash. And here if there's a house fire about all the fire department can do is prevent the fire from igniting the woods while they watch your house burn to the ground... every winter there are lots of wood stove fires. It's substantially less costly, muc safer, and a whole lot less laborious to heat with propane than wood. And propane stoves are just as esthetically pleasing as wood stoves, many are even nicer. Pellet stoves are of no value during power outages, they require electric to operate. I recently installed a ventless propane heater for a back up during winter power outages. I have a wood stove but after using it once I won't bother with it again... the ventless propane heater works a treat and all I need do is open the valve and press a button. I know several people who got rid of wood stoves and installed ventless propane heaters, they are far more efficient too (99%), no heat goes up a chimney. Mine is strictly utilitarian, installed on a basement wall it heats my entire house so prevents pipes from freezing during winter power outages... I have the wall mount blue flame... produces a terrifc amount of heat for such a small unit, and for pennies an hour. I turn it on during frigid weather too, saves my central heat from running so much, and saved me from needing a generator... during winter I don't care about refrigeration but I care about pipes freezing: http://www.worldmkting.com/products/gas_appliances.htm |

Who wants a wood fired brick pizza oven?
I wonder if you could build one using a bullet smoker and get a pizza
stone or unglazed ceramic tile that is just big enough to sit on the grate, or cut a stone to size, and do it that way and burning wood underneath. I bet that would work and it would be relatively cheap and portable and might cost you 100 bucks or so. The only trick would be getting the pizza in and out, but you might have to cut the cylindrical portion of the smoker so the stone sits at the top and you can just drop it on and put the lid on and pick it up easily. I have a bullet smoker I haven't used in a couple years and am tempted to give this a try. I really think this would work. |

The Weber kettle spacer that sf referenced comes with a pizza stone. As far as I can tell, this insert merely provides a slit through which one can slide a pizza off a peel, without having to take the lid off, with the resulting loss of heat. (It also has a bimetal thermometer indicating the temperature exceeds 700 degrees.) There seem to be a number of interesting discussions at the Virtual Weber Bullet about adapters for making pizza. Also about modifying a tamale pot to turn the portable Smokey Joe into a mini-bullet smoker. |

Brick oven floors are not grill grates. Never having understood the "barbecued pizza" fad (yes, I tried it and was under-whelmed), I would use my own pizza stone if the set didn't come as a complete kit. > > There seem to be a number of interesting discussions at the Virtual > Weber Bullet about adapters for making pizza.
