I would love it if you post about your project though! |
When this virus is done you can come look at mine and pick my brain about building one.

That is why I use the attachment function that the forum has. I just try to resize the photos to a reasonable size before uploading them.

So I have a question about making this after you guys inspired me to make it.I seem to have a lot more whole wheat flour on hand then AP so after you make the starter can you add whole wheat instead of AP flour to feed it ?

Totally! Pretty much any flour works. Just stay away from bleached flour.

I'm going to assume you meant using attachments not resizing the pictures....
When you are posting a message, before you hit the submit button, scroll down to the "Additional Options" section. There is a button labeled "Manage Attachments", click on that. It will open a new window where you can upload files from your computer.

Pizza oven
You need to build an enclosure. I wrapped it all with ceramic insulation then filled the rest of the enclosure with vermeculite.

Pizza oven
It spent a winter without siding on the enclosure, it was just cement board.
Here’s a photo the day after getting it to 700F. Snow was barely melted. Good insulation is super important.

Pizza oven
A fire, you’ll notice the natural convection. If you leave some fire burning in the oven it will brown foods like crazy. Browning meat for stew, roasting veggies that kind of idea.

It took me at least 2 months, every night after work and every weekend.
Mostly because my wife wouldn’t help. That’s a lot of trips back and forth...
Find a helper, even if you have to pay them.

Super cool! I want one as well.
I need somebody to build it though, I don't have the time or knowledge.
Any idea on what you spent on materials?

I spent around 3K. I found new firebricks in kijiji and paid $1.50 each instead of $6.00 (?), bought used cinder blocks, the ceramic insulation batts were reclaimed. I probably saved about 1200-1500 with used scrounged materials. You’re looking at 4500-5000 for materials and if you get someone to build it I’d guess $15000 or so.
You could save money by pouring your own slab, that’s easy, lay the blocks (also easy), then pour the top slab. All doable with a bit of head scratching.
Then get a mason to lay your dome. Build your own enclosure to keep it dry.
That would be your cheapest easy way. The dome isn’t difficult it just takes time and infinite patience.
You “could” make the actual oven out of “cob” just do the research on cob and you’ll see how easy it is. A mixture of clay, sand and straw..I’d add some fibreglass fibres and cement and maybe vermeculite into that mix.
Certainly won’t last as long as bricks but 10-20 years should be reasonable.
If you have a real interest check out fornobravo.com they have a forum that’s fantastic.
