Hello everyone,, I'm doing my research before starting work on building a clay pizza oven. I can see lots of threads on this site about specific issues but I'm struggling to find a basic guide to planning and building an oven. Can anyone point me to 'Clay oven 101? emoji phone caseI'm in Hampshire, England and planning to use reclaimed materials where possible. Thanks |

Just google ‘building a clay pizza oven’ or similar. You’ll get loads of suggested sites and YouTube vids and then if I were you I’d pick the best bits of design and technique and crack on with yours. There’s also a clay / cob over section on here with a small number of builds ukwoodfiredovenforum.proboards.com/board/17/guide-clay-cob-oven-constructionI did like this one though. Good mix of photos, description and even a materials list. www.deliciousmagazine.co.uk/how-to-build-a-wood-fired-pizza-oven/Can’t recall if there’s a clay oven section but worth a look at the Forno Bravo forum build section. Dozens of impressive builds on there though most will be brick built. You might get sucked in and decide to go that route. Whatever you do post it on here. Always interesting to see a new build progress. |

I posted this a little while ago in response to a similar question, hope it helps. 1 - The cooking floor should be at the main users elbow height. 2 - The ratio between the inner height of the dome and the door lintel should be 63% (or thereabouts). 3 - The width of the opening should be about half the internal diameter. 4 - The larger the oven the more fuel/time is required to go 'soot free'. 5 - Underfloor insulation is neglected at your peril. 6 - There's no such thing as too much insulation. 7 - You should be able to isolate the oven from the flue. I'm sure others will be along with contributions but a good place to start would be the archive on here as all builds have similarities, regardless of materials.
