make a surgery intervent. and take off you polyps

[phillemare]

Loved the comentry wish i had seen you efforts before i did mine..I have a feeling that the temp in ya oven might be higher, mine i reckon gets to near 700 C..Nice one,

[99cachorro]

nice looking oven, good job... but... for the time and money I'll just keep getting take out.

[crissybee2]

Really great video, I have been inspired, but I could not quite tackle such a project yet. Well done!!

[jklsr55]

First off to bestSVMS... If a guy takes the time to build a quality unit like this THE LAST thing on his mind is 30 min heat up time!! All due respect that was an ignorant comment...

grandsmalls... My hat is off. Nice job. Can you tell me how you regulate the cooking temp? Is it simply adding or taking away coals? And what about reaching a target cooking temp and maintaining it. I do alot of smoking meat and it is a constant fight to maintain constant temperature...

[grandsmalls]

@jklsr55 Thanks for the nice comment! Because the bricks retain heat they keep feeding a fairly consistent heat into the oven. It does reduce over time so you get to know what to put in when depending on what you are cooking. it is possible to cook with some fire still in the oven (like with pizza) this tends to keep the temperature up even with the door open. It isn't easy though and takes lots of practice!

this was very good, i could know probably build one now, thanks for sharing!

[bubbabouyi]

hahahaha 15 sec your hands on your hips ,and your father inlaw bustin his arse.

[backyardovenbuilder]

[AmyLeesPetWookiee]

Great video. It's nice that you took up the project with your wife and father in law.

[0714boskittles]

looks like a fun project, well done.

[sgtshane]

very nice

[feltwiener69]

I looked great right up to the point you painted it. Nice construction though.

[sejjieh]

Nice Job, well built.

[UkeTubeUK]

Cool! I want one!

[24765968]

Thats a nice job.Thanks for posting .

[samridawaser]

that was cool

i made one before, but i had to remove it for space :(

[mikesuttie]

I'd love to do this but I have absolutely no masonary skills or experience! Anywhere I can learn!?? also what size pizzas can you fit in this ?

[grandsmalls]

All the brickwork I'd done before this was build a basic BBQ. You can find lots of info on the Internet but in the end you just have to have a go!

It can take a 20" diameter pizza

[mikesuttie]

Well mate you've done a fantastic job. I'm hoping to build one that'll fit 2x12" pizzas. Going to take quite a bit of planning. Am I right in thinking your concrete base is approx 1.5m x 1.2m ?? I'm trying to get an idea of size. Many thanks

[sibkiss2009]

@mikesuttie Mother Earth News has one too. I think you can download a file with instructions. Go to their web site and search for ovens articles.

[mikesuttie]

This is amazing

[TheSignGuy32]

Where did you get the foil and what is its name?

[grandsmalls]

It's just ordinary kitchen foil

[JusPrimaeNoctis2]

Great work of masonry man, but I should point out that the oven is too little, causing the top of the pizza to burn while the floor gets cold too quickly, preventing the bottom to cook properly.

It lacks of enough space to put wood on one side in order to charge it while cooking without contaminating the pizza with ash or wood accidentally, and to create the ideal air stream, since cold air should never enter directly through the cooking food. Btw I'm Italian and I got one too :)

[grandsmalls]

Thanks. Actually it cooks very well both top and bottom. It's unique in the fact that it's so small and fits well in an average UK garden. It's not intended for commercial use and it wouldn't be suitable for that purpose. But it's fine for a few nice days in the summer.

[JusPrimaeNoctis2]

Sure, sorry for the clarification usually those are the two main issues of little ovens, anyway you have done really a great job my friend! :)

[dulcebelluminexperti]

Very good. Very nice video. I would have left it natural, painting white does not look the same an is going to require some more frequent maintenance.

[bestSVMS]

that looks good, but couple hours to get to temp? Who waits that long. sorry, but most people woulnt use it uless it could heat up in 30 mins. The grill would be faster

[aeu99217]

i think you've totally missed the point

[grandsmalls]

Then most people can buy as gas BBQ

[Sunsheena]

This is fantastic are you sure you havnt got Ausie/italian blood?

[mabiusmasonry]

awesome job!!

[cintown59]

Mind I asking where did you find the blue prints for your oven/grill? Name of book or website? It would complement my garden as well.

[grandsmalls]

thanks tantalumdom.

The vermiculite concrete was made by mixing 8 parts vermiculite (available from most large garden centres) and 1 part cement

[tantalumdom]

that was brilliant to watch and made it look achieveable to anyone.I do all my outdoor cooking over real fires but his is something else.would be interested in knowing where you buy verciculite cement

thanks for posting,and the base looked fine to me

[jezzastyle]

your foundation was pissweek. your fireplace will fall down...

[johnwally]

I done it for the last 5 years with blocks and slabs of concrete aswell but nothing permanent ( I keep moving house) but now I have a more permanent abode it is time to seal er up with mud

[Leadfootn]

you did a great job on the oven. the final pic with the stone in place and the oven painted, it really looks wonderful

[pumkinvine]

nice job

[happyidiottalk]

Any chance you could pop round and build one of these in my garden? I'll get the wife to make you a tea... if your nice... and work hard!

[grandsmalls]

I might be persuaded for a few real ales!

[happyidiottalk]

Superb, there is proper Black Country real ale pub right down the road from mine. Lovely jubly. ;)

[shaunaye]

good on ya m8 luv it :D

[SnuffWaffler]

That BBQ looks Fantastic! Good Job GrandSmalls - want to come and build me one!
