Rocket Pizza Oven

This oven was built by a friend out of farmyard scraps for a private gathering back in July 2013. It cooked around 80 pizzas in just over two hours.

The pipes in the hearth area fed air to produce a secondary burn, and once going, we were able to feed the stove with birch twigs and deadfall from the forest floor.

Anyone wishing to view the oven within reach of East Suffolk, England, please PM me.

Thanks for posting that, it certainly is made out of farmyard scraps :-)

Galvanised Tank??

I thought use of Galvinised metal in a stove gave off poisonous fumes?

I worried about that myself after the event was over and we all sobered-up   

Nobody had any ill effects as far as I know.

It is unlikely to ever be used again, but at least it served as a demonstration of what can be achieved with rocket stove technology.

80 in 2 hours? Dang.

Anyone else built a rocket stove fired pizza/bread oven. Ideas?

these may take your interest plenty of ideas to choose from

The difficult part is narrowing down what you are looking for. Size, durability, function, and weight. There are a zillion ways to cook a pizza.

I know this isn't what most do but I am starting to lean towards channels. Maybe it's just me but the bells (ovens) don't seem to draft as well as channels. I used to want a black oven but now I think I am leaning more towards a white one.

ive considered using a stainless steel one as reflects heat inside the oven

so today broke up a dish washer to get the stainless steel chamber and the door in stainless steel also broke up a fridge as well got the cooler radiator out of that as well as i can use that on a build somewhere

Take a look at this pizza oven.

hey i like that idea

just one thing id be worried about is the glass so presume its for demo only

i also took a deeper look at there other builds and caught this one



i like the idea of long heat air vent they use and controlable as well

This guy is a real craftsman. And creative. Did you see this one?
