Gary, Congrats on the pizza oven and becoming a pizzaiolo. The oven is fantastic, and will get even better with continued use.Our thoughts and prayers are with your father, and the family he loved so much.
WOW! I really enjoyed watching the build, I've always dreamed of building one myself. Yours was obviously done right! Everything looks awesome coming out of it. Great work and great food!
Sorry for your loss,went through it for about 10 months with my Dad who found peace in January 2010. He helped me build my oven.
I see the pizza places in my suburb 5 at last count,use an iron rack/stand thing on one side of oven,they build fire over it so some logs are off the floor. I cant get a straight answer in English or Italian as to what effect it has on the food but I think they are getting a better start up & more consistent fire with less ash. They may also be getting the dome hotter for better result on top of pizza.
They all burn same hardwoods, ironbark,redgum or similiar.They are all southerners but from different regions & therefore parochial about food but they all use the rack deal.
You dont look like you need any help on the cooking part but you had the good sense to have decent size door so you could retro fit it if appealed. Mick
I love it Gary. That oven looks like a lot of fun...More pics with future cooks please....My prayers for your family for strength. Hard losing your Dad.....
Gary, first my prayers are with you and your family. 2nd, I am so envious. I know those have to be the best tasting pizzas in your area. Can't wait to see all the other delicacies you will be cooking in there.
Gary very nice .I live alone and I am 75 years old I make my bread since about over 30 years and never the same bread every week. I don't have an outside oven that s my wish but no man to do it lol. I cook lot I only buy the base to cook I think an outside oven could be very interesting to have . I will check for a way how to do a small one for 1 or mat be 2 persons meal. That s make long time that I think about it so may be it s time to do. Thank you
Looking for a good crust recipe or a place to buy crusts. I have a kamado grill and want to do a pizza. Any help would be appreciated. Your oven looks awesome.
