Pizza Oven Plans

Intro

So here was the idea.  I had been reading up on wood-fired ovens.  I blame Mercy, for she's the one who first put the bug in my ear.  I WAS going to do a barrel smoke kiln, but the more I talked it over with her, the more I realized I really wanted something that I could cook in, and would be fun to make.  Then suddenly, as I researched it on the internet, and read some books, I was hooked.  I just HAD to make one.  

Now, traditionally, people build an outdoor wood-fired pizza oven using fire bricks or red bricks and mortar it all together, either in a dome style, or a half-cylinder (Here's a good example).  But I also read of people making the oven straight from clay.  They would make a big dome with sand, then cover that with a thick layer of wet clay.  Once it was dry they would scoop out the sand and then slowly fire the clay with ever-larger wood fires (Here's a example). Now, one can also buy a pizza oven kit, for about two grand + shipping (Here).

But I had access to a kiln... so I could form my clay oven, and then fire it to cone 06.  What a cool idea!

So off I went. 

Now sit back and step through the slide show of my pizza oven project.
