Wood Fired Pizza Oven Building (A Brickie series Book 1)

My wife has wanted a wood fired pizza oven for years and I always told her that I wasn't sure how to build one. Well, she was looking on Amazon for a fire pit design and saw this book. Needless to say she downloaded it and handed me the iPad with the cover showing... I am now in the process of gathering enough bricks and other items to build her oven. Since she is half Syrian and half Lebanese I assume Pita bread will be on the menu also. Good guide.

This is a good start if your thinking about building a wood fired pizza oven. Not sure I would say it is a complete direction manual, but definitely a good start.

Misspellings, failed urls take away from what would be a more helpful guide. I would have liked to see a brick arched oven as well, something one might expect from a thirty years experienced bricklayer. It also appears the urls are not valid. It also appear

good guide for construction of a pizza refractory in a budget. tried out the guide and it worked well for the first pizza. lets have more.

First off, this book is really a kindle short rather than a book and it is priced accordingly. This book contains detailed descriptions of how the author - a professional mason - built a wood fired oven, after taking a class on this subject. He discusses the trade-offs that he made with his design and why. He talks about safety, the type of thermal mass that is optimal for an oven and it's implications for the time required to achieve and to hold the target temperature. He discusses how much wood is required for a roast vs. a pizza and how coal does not generate high enough heat for pizza in this type of oven. Learning that three wheelbarrows full of wood and two to three hours of warmup are required to cook pizza may temper your desire for a wood burning brick oven. He discusses several techniques for curing the oven and what will happen if you do not. A few of the pictures and drawings used in the book are substandard. However, if you are thinking of building or buying a brick wood burning oven, then you should read the practical viewpoint of this author who is not trying to sell you one.

Very easy to follow explained in detail am looking forward to building one soon they are not as expensive as first thought

It was weak, almost like a child wrote it. Drawings were hard to understand. Price and dimensions were foreign currency and metric.

still thinking about how it'll work over here in the islands,..............rain humidity..........and getting fire bricks or clay here is something difficult............cement we have.

When the weathers hot the last thing you want to do is fire up you kitchen oven. Outdoor cooking requires different equipment. If you are into making your own pizza's then a wood fired oven is a must. This book gives you all the information you need to build your own, so no excuses, get on with it!

Arrive before the allotted time Its good to see other ways of doing things but there are much better ways with better pictures and less expense

For the price this book is highly informative with Helpful text and photo step by step guidance. It's the first pizza oven book I have bought but was very pleased with it.

A very good book indeed.

Very useful and a good insight into how to dare to build a pizza oven. Hopefully soon I'll get around to it. Thank you very much.
