This is not so much a case of something I want to try, more something we ARE going to do. We are building a pizza oven. Yes we are. Starting this week. I've always wanted an outdoor brick oven and we've had Russell's book for years in anticipation. Now it's all systems go. Work is starting tomorrow. I'll keep you updated on how we fare. Have you ever made a brick oven? Any tips?
I've never built a pizza oven, but have been to Russell's & eaten his fantastic pizza, so imagine his book would be a cracker, too. Good luck with your oven - how exciting!
ReplyDeleteI am so..........jealous, I'm married to a bricklayer and currently begging, begging for a pizza oven. I'll keep working on him, I cannot wait to see your progress photos and the pizza results. I am sure it wont be unlike my wood combustion oven, that she may take a while to get to know but in the end you will love it!!!
ReplyDeleteOh how exciting! Love it. My parents almost bought a holiday house once purely on the basis that it had an outdoor brick oven! I wish they had done.
ReplyDeleteWonderful, that is a very exciting project. I can imagine many evenings where pizza is on the menu!
ReplyDeleteoh love it!! we are doing a cobb oven in the back as well to go with our "beer garden" we have planned..hehe can't wait to see your progress!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! So when can we all drop around for pizzas at your place...?
ReplyDeleteOh i am sooo jealous, we were going to do it last year and talked ourselves out of it. Good on you. Cannot wait to see the end result...yummm
ReplyDeleteOh! Me! Me! XXxx.
ReplyDeleteYes Michelle, Russell is King of the Pizza ovens, no doubt about it. The only tip I have is that it takes a while to get the heat regulation right with the burning logs. So maybe be prepared for some serious experimentation & keep your sense of humour!

Mum and her husband arrive on the 20th of next month - he has adhd and has decided to build a pergola and a pizza oven. So something in the universe is calling pizza ovens to arms..........
ReplyDeleteVery exciting, my sister in law is about to start building one and I've taken some photos of our friends oven here in Hobart...I'll send some through to you as well.
ReplyDeleteI've been on the receiving end of many a delicious pizza from these ovens so good luck with the building (if this rain EVER lets up!)
Wow, an impressive endeavor! Can't wait to see the final product.
ReplyDeleteOh hooray for the pizza oven!!! I spend my life drawing commercial kitchens and done so many pizza ovens in my time with a little jealousy. Can't wait to see how it goes
