Man, I want to build one of these at my cabin so bad that I can taste it.

Problem is, first I need to finish my cabin, my latrine and my shower. Or maybe I should just build the brick oven and finish the cabin later

Do you have one at your cabin? I'd love to see the pics of the ovens and the food.

I have one at home, it's not brick, but mostly clay.
There's a lot of good resources on the net how to build it.
I use mine for pizza, sometimes bread and smoking chicken.
Oh, pork BBQ is amazing (pulled pork).

I've been curious, as a quick hack would it work to take a large chimney flue tile on its' side, block one end with firebrick, reduce the opening and stack up a short chimney at the mouth using more loose firebrick, I suppose a layer of brick stacked and laid around the tile... and fire it up?

Sounds like it would be kinda small. Isn't a chimney flue only about 8" ID?

From what I have been reading, the most popular size is around 40 inches.

Have some pizza

I think you can build one for around $600-$700 if you do the work yourself.

I'm not looking to build a Taj Mahal brick oven. Just one big enough to do one or two pizzas and 5 gallons of beans.

In the 1990s at Giza in Egypt archeologists discovered remains of dozens of such ovens in a complex of buildings that must have served to supply the builders of the Great Pyramid. Gotta keep the troops fed.

So, maybe you should finish your oven first so you can feed yourself while building your cabin. Some things never change.

Indian restaurants have clay ovens to bake their naan bread. I don't know if they use them for anything else. I LOVE Indian food.

Indian oven (tandoor) is vertical.
Mine cost under $200, because I bought the clay and firebricks, if build from local clay, it's half that.

It was a test build and SWMBO is not happy with the looks, but it's still here ;)
I got rid of the metal pipe since then

I built this one last year, cooks great but you will be surprised how much wood it takes to heat up to pizza temp. Well worth the investment.

Haha! I knew there was an answer. But Man! I'd have to curl up around the thing to stay warm while looking at an unfinished cabin. What I need is a good buddy who will work for food. Or beer.

NICE! And know what? This is all I would need. Looks like plenty of room for a pizza in there.

Only thing I need to watch out for is the same as when I had my boat.
I had more friends than you could shake a stick at.

Yeah, I can imagine that it takes awhile. But! Thats just the price I'm going to have to pay for some killer baked beans.~

Native American tribes here in the SW used outdoor ovens, known as kivas, for hundereds of years past. They are still in use daily on many of the pueblos here.

Link to what they look like. No chimneys, some use a flat rock to cover the hole in the top when not in use. A larger flat rock or wood slab "door" to cover the main side opening when not in use.

Well, they've found beer making supplies at the pyramid site and an account of the Isrealites going on strike when the ration was late. So now we know the rest of the story, the pyramids were built on beer and pizza. The more things change...

You had to do this, huh? Tomato sauce looks awesome!
Still trying to decide if I should build my latrine or brick oven first.

If you are going to build a brick oven it takes twice as long as you think it will, oh and twice the money.

The latrine is a hole in the ground with a shipping crate on top. If you have clay soil you could make a clay oven with the soil you dig from the latrine... Hmmm.. something to ponder....

No clay here Tverga, lots of rocks though. Big rocks little rocks round rocks square rocks pointy rocks.
I own a lot of rocks. The good thing is though that under all those rocks is nice gravel and good drainage.

Maybe I'll just take one of those big rocks and chisel an oven out of it.

Does a rock oven count? My buddies and I baked chicken in a rock oven. It was awesome.

After the video... we then took the rocks from the ground and reconstructed the oven so that it can be used again. Worked like a champ.
