    You need some proof-reading.

    Edit: sorry that was rude. you want to build a pizza oven (not wooden, wood burns) in your yard.

    Start with looking on youtube, then start a discussion about materials you cannot find after looking in the obvious places.

      Simple, it's a one-time use oven.

      FTFY: Wood fired pizza oven.

      • FTFY: Pizza ovened fire wood.

  • I occasionally see bricks for sale in gumtree. Leftovers from construction. Normally $1-2 per brick or less if buying the whole pallet.

  • Ok.

  • Not exactly the same thing aesthetically but if you don't want to pump out a whole lot of smoke and ash, these have pretty decent reviews:

    You'll need clay bricks. Normal bricks will crack fairly quickly in the heating and cooling of an oven.

    I would not use wood because wood burns.

      Wood makes terrible pizzas. I make mine out of ovens.

      • Not flour?

    Learn from this guy's mistakes.

  • You can use your normal oven grill :New york Pizza on grill making four new york style pizzas for >$15 ingredients. Aldi also makes this Pizza oven Link I am sure some people will be selling their one on Gumtree etc.

  • I saw a video where he used a large terracotta pot to make a wood-fired pizza oven. there is something about the shape that helps with the heat.

  • I wanted to do this a while ago,but I never actually did. Most of the advice was you shouldn't use normal bricks. Fire bricks are very expensive usually 20-30 dollars each. The entire thing is not made from fire bricks only part of it. There is also a special mortar and it is recommended to insulate the thing. It was going to cost about 2 thousand for what I wanted and would have been cheaper to get a premade one. I was able to source some cheap fire bricks from gum tree, there are fire bricks in old combustion heater.

  • So you mean something like this DIY pizza oven?

    the video shows the base being built out of a perlite/cement mix and smoothed out, but you should be able to pickup some refractory/firebricks from and outdoor/landscaping supplies place.
    i needed a handful of firebricks a couple of years ago and got them from my local for about $6 each.

    Are these guys anywhere near you?

  • Will normal bricks really crack though? My parents had a fireplace that was made of normal bricks, I was hoping to buy some cheap bricks from gumtree and build one, I'd go double layer to be safe.

    A colleague of mine bought clay bricks. He spent about $750 to make it.

    He said that, as long as you buy used clay bricks, the bricks won't crack, but if you use concrete they will. He paid about $2 a brick.
