New pizza oven

[jamie]

hi I'm just think of buying a wood fired pizza oven, but Iam going around in circles with different information of heat up times cooling times sizing extras etc etc

My budget is around 1000 I like the idea of quick heat up times of around half hour

eBay has some for around 600 but worried they may crack and fall apart

I'm fairly hand s on and will be building my base but want an oven ready made

Any advice would be great

Thanks

Welcome to the boards , rest assured you will get the help and answers that you need but unfortunately I went the cob oven route so can offer no help whatsoever!!

Do you want the entire oven ready made - i.e. so you just drop it onto the base and are ready to go?

Or would you be comfortable with a precast "modular" oven that would come in half a dozen or so parts that you would need to fit together, then cover with insulation and then render?

If it's fully made - take a look at Jamie Oliver's "Dome 60", or the portuguese ones you have already seen on eBay (there are probably others available).

If you would consider the modular approach, then there are quite a few - have a look at Kilnlinings.co.uk, Vitcas, Vaolriani, etc.... just google "modular wood fired oven"

The dome 60 is excellent, i've been using mine twice a week for the last 3 three months - it's quick and as far as I am able to tell every efficient. I love it and would now never be without a WFO - the BBQ is dead!
