Building Your Own Pizza Oven In Your Backyard Have you ever walked out of a first-rate pizza restaurant wondering the reasons you can never manage to replicate those flavors at home? Why don't you cut to the chase and construct a pizza oven right in your very own backyard, as opposed to spending hours on endless concoctions of ingredients? A wood-fired stove is definitely the secret to making that perfect crust, those crispy toppings, and that unmatched smoked flavor. Constructing a proper oven on your own does require a bit of research or masonry experience; however, newbies can benefit from complete doit-yourself kits, making this a simple and exciting project for any homeowner. How Do The Wood-Fired Ovens Work? A wood-fired oven burns wood or coal to create heat that is evenly distributed inside a specially designed chamber built upon a permanent foundation. Commonly dome or barrel shaped, the chamber is made using heat-resistant materials like refractory concrete, firebrick or adobe clay. These materials are very important given that they allow the oven to withstand prolonged high temperatures. Similar to a regular fireplace, an oven also has a flue or chimney situated on top through which smoke can escape, in addition to a front or rear entry point. Preparing or firing the oven to cook is a method that does takes some time. Door open, a fire is started, and the heat from its flames radiates throughout the chamber, continually absorbing into the walls. Once the oven is sufficiently heated, the coals can be removed or pushed aside, pizza can be inserted, and the door can be closed. The insulation of the oven is extremely important, since the absorbed heat will continue to expand, distributing and cooking the pizza evenly from all sides in the chamber. What You Will Need To make sure that you have the proper tools and correct materials, you'll want to do some initial research. But luckily, building an oven will not be as time-consuming as many people may imagine. Both the oven as well as its foundation are usually constructed with masonry equipment. Typical materials include things like concrete, mortar, rebar, and firebrick. The entry door is normally crafted from wood while the chimney normally incorporates steel sheeting. Additionally, you'll need measuring devices, cutting tools, a wheelbarrow, and safety equipment. Skilled builders might already have different ideas for the design that are familiar with these materials. For first timers, all-inclusive oven kits are readily available and come complete with all required materials as well as detailed step-by-step installation instructions. In addition to that, the kit can provide a pre-cast mold that will tremendously lower the complexity of the dome or arch construction, accounting automatically for the necessary space between the door and the chimney. These molds come in a variety of sizes and styles, giving a beginner the chance to create a custom-made oven at a reasonable cost. What You Will Get
