Re: Brick Oven Build (Pic heavy)
Used the tail end of one of the curing fires to cook a Lasagna.
Still a few fires away from getting it hot enough for pizza.

Re: Brick Oven Build (Pic heavy)
I've finally finished with the oven construction.
Now I just have to finish the skim coat and brick veneer on the stand, do a series of curing fires. Once I'm done with that, I can paint the oven....

Re: Brick Oven Build (Pic heavy)
Brick Veneer is the plan for the base. It ties in nicely to the granite and other stone I have in my yard.

Re: Brick Oven Build (Pic heavy)
Thanks for the kind words, fellas.
Installed the landing in the front of the oven opening.
This will make the granite sit flush and make it easier to get food in and out.

Re: Brick Oven Build (Pic heavy)
Busy weekend here.
I got a lot of work done.
Crawling into the oven to clean and point the joints took way longer than I expected Thursday, so I wasn't able to actually build until Friday evening...

Today is Mac's birthday.
I still think about him and laugh at the good times often.
Tearing up now thinking about him, and wishing I could reach out and call him to wish him a happy birthday.

Re: Brick Oven Build (Pic heavy)
Yes, it's for wood storage.
The bottom is 7 feet long. I segmented it and left it open on both ends so I wouldn't have to crawl in to get at the wood stored in the back.
I have to lay...

Got some work in on Saturday, but Sunday was a washout with rain, so I haven't finished the dome yet.
It was a little slow going as the walls got steeper because the bricks want to fall in.

You might want to stay away from the pretzels.
Usually the handle breaks, and they fall all over the floor.

Re: Brick Oven Build (Pic heavy)

Brick Oven Build (Pic heavy)
I'm currently attempting to build a brick oven in my yard.
Currently 5 weeks in, and would say I'm 75% done with the project.
There's a lot of waiting for things to dry and cure in between steps,...

Not sure about the brand of bag that Ben was using, but the bags I use want the meat to be wet.
