I remember you taking this up and seeing a few shots along the way - nice to see the whole process together. Also you started this
after COVID lockdown?!?! It seems like it was quite a while ago you were starting it... oh wait... this COVID thing has been a while...
I'll have to post some shots of our pseudo pizza oven, and meals that come from it. A big masonry stove with an oven in the middle of the house, which is our primary means of heating and cooking in the winter.
Thank you Robert. Yes, actually started prior to the first lock-down but then could not, of course, get any materials so got going in earnest in May 2020. Also a weekend project mainly, so slow going. Worked on the brickwork base through June and July and started the oven itself in August. Dome was completed by end of September and we had our first pizzas in October 2020. Door made end of October so we were cooking all sorts of stuff from almost exactly a year ago.
This winter was very wet so we had the oven covered from April through to now with very few attempts at cooking anything until last month.
Yes, please post your masonry stove photos. Would love to see it.
