Just come back from 3 nights camping at MikeO's 14 acres at Mt Byron. Piping Hot was also there along with some others from work.

I promised MikeO to build a Pizza Oven for him.
Built it over 3 days.

3 days, wow. How cool is that Roll Eyes

I take it you didn't get a chance to use it in that time. Would need to dry out.

I don't like pizza

I only worked 4 hours a days as well.
Needed to get the mortar to hold before the dome started to arch over too far.

In 5 weeks we are making the return journey for a pizza and beer night.

It should be dry and settled down by then.

Looks good, you've obviously done that before. Do you use refractory bricks?

I used to be indecisive but I'm not so sure now.

Never made a Pizza Oven in my life before.
My father and grandfather were both bricklayers.
I did a lot of watching when I was a kid

Sure did!
The total cost of the oven above the platform height was $150.00
MikeO got a bargain. Wink

I had plans, but mike made the platform smaller than required.
So I had to stuff around with the measurements and wing it.

Brilliant job Aart!

Besides cooking pizza, it looks like a nice little spot to hang out on a cool evening too - assuming it will be staying where it is!

It is amazing how much you learn just by watching... without realising you are learning it!

The judge's decision is final... unless the 3rd umpire is called for... or a facebook campaign goes viral !!!

All comments are my personal opinion only and/or based on real life experiences. No debate will be entered into.
