Thank you - still building up the courage to do this. Yours looks great

Cant wait to make one nice job good simple to the point video bravissimo

Awesome! I can't wait to make one! Thanks

looks great mate!

Nice vid, nice oven str8 to the point you make it look so simple thanks!

Awesome vid m8, all the info required. Now I just need some time

Very nice, thank you!

Excellent stuff. Have just built my own have only lit the first little fire. Well done 👍

Awesome job Nick, id love to build something like that 👌🏻

funniest line of the whole video: out comes the ball - like giving birth!! ;-) nice concise video!

Excellent Video Thank you for sharing this video...

I am building one of these in conjunction with a Solar Oven this weekend Nick! Thanks for the ideal! 👍👍

if you like to pre warm wood look to how we Italians store wood. under the oven at all times. also we never let our ovens cool down there is always a small fire inside. and when we need to cook pizza we heat the over fully for at least 4 hours before.

Nice, quick, no nonsense video! Thanks!

the idea with the candle is genius

good idea i will also make an oven in the garden afterwards you could give me your opinion

How well did your oven weather?Did it crack much?

Hi Nick, great vid, do you cover it in winter?

Man.. great looking oven!! Did you use Portland cement? Or just regular cement..

Great effort - How did you fix the chimney?

I get it to 63/8 inches 1220mm board 900 ball = 320mm ÷ 2 = 160 ÷ 25 = 6.4 But thats the thickest I've seen must admit I like the way the outside was finished, thoughts on the 6 inch thickness it could take a long time to heat up but should be stable.. Personally I am now finally tempted to build my own.. Is the cement standard portland or fondu..🤔 Any weather proofing or is it good to go Thanks David..

Hi Nick, Great video! Question, did you end up using all 200 liters of the verm?

Nice oven! Do you have a list of quantities of materials used?

I'm expecting a 5 minute weekend project

How is the refractory dome holding up over time? I keep hearing that they can’t handle the expansion and contraction after daily heating and cooling from the fire brick oven crowd.

I put chicken wire in the concrete mix for extra strength, used this video as a guided

Hi did you use regular cement for the dome? Thank you

I just followed your instructions. It looks good so far... one question, how thick were your side walls and how long did you wait till your first test fire? Thanks again... Brian

Thanks for the video but you really should not use standard (portland) cement for any high-temperature application. It's not stable after 150 celcius, and would totally disintegrate in oven temp. So just because it does not collapse, doesn't mean the structure is healthy. (though in the worst case scenario it would collapse on your pizza during cooking :) So use special fire cement folks!

Hi did you cover it with damp towel,if so for how long,looks class

When did you put the candle in it? When it looked dry?

I can buy the Tiles from a local stove installers for around £2.50 each, ebay is owned and run by decendants of Dick Turpin.

Great video, had you any issues with it getting wet from the rain or did you waterproof it some how ?

Hi, thanks for the great video. I have been researching these are other styles of ovens that are easy to build rather than attempt a pompeii style brick oven (also due to cost constraints). Can you please tell me with the vermicultie and cement how is the heat retention post the fire going out? Obviously, there is trade off of weight with regards to thermal mass of bircks etc? How long would the oven retain its heat for other slow cooking etc. Also how hot does the outside of the oven get when you have it up to full temperature, the only reason i ask if that i have kids and would not like them to get burnt. Thanks in advance.

Amazing workmanship. I'm considering building one but I'm a bit intimidated by the whole thing because I have two left thumbs...

Vermiculita é resistente ao 🔥?

I mixed 6 parts perlite, 1 part refractory concrete, 1 part Portland cement, and water, for the oven floor under the tiles, It's been curing for 5 days, but it hasn't fully hardened yet. I can still dent the surface with my nail. Could it be that I used too much water, and it won't cure properly? Or will it just take more time? Or could it be the mix itself?

Great job. What kind of temperature can you get upto in there?

How long does it take to get up to temp and what is your heat retention like?

What type of cement did you use? High temperature or regular?

About the cement, thats is a normal construction cement?

Holly shit that only took you 5 minutes brilliant 🤔😂

did you use cement or concrete?

I love your concept, I've taken a few notes of my own and combining it with some tips you gave in the vid, however, where exactly is your chimney made from? I cant seem to find the proper material..

Hi, can you tell me how much clay bricks you used?

How long did you wait to remove the ball?

Any ideas about using perlite instead of vermiculite?

Hi. How thick is the vermiculite that you use in this video (i mean the bean)

Why would you ever put the chimney in the tunnel?

Can you give the dimensions off the oven please. Length x width, just need to get an idea of size so I can plan a location in my garden. Thanks in advance

2 days!? You said 5 minutes!!!!

You did all this in 5 minutes? Do you own a time machine?

5 minutes? lol

Thank not complicated

two... hundred.... liters of vermic ... that's about 200$
