HOW TO BUILD // Wood Fired Brick Pizza Oven Part 1

In this episode of Second Son Woodworks, I begin building a Wood Fired Brick Pizza Oven. See below for more info:

Watch me build a wood fired brick pizza oven for my back yard patio. This is the first time I have ever built a pizza oven and I got to say, masonry work is so fun! I used cinder blocks and cement bricks to built the base of the oven on top of some sand. I then used two different sizes of fire bricks for the dome of the oven (links below). I made a custom wooden jig to build the arches. I covered the entire exterior of the dome with mortar. I then painted the mortar with garage floor paint.

I am by no means a professional mason, but I hope that this #backyarddiypizzaoven inspires you to build something for your home. The first party I held with this oven, we cooked close to 40 pizzas in the oven with my brother's homemade pizza dough. The pizzas were so tasty! Once the oven was heated to a high temperature, between 500-700 degrees Fahrenheit, each pizza only took about 2 minutes to cook. I used a heat laser gun to test the temp of the oven before cooking.

Thank you to all the friends and family who made this happen!
