Wood Fired Pizza Oven, Barrel type (A Brickie series Book 2) Kindle Edition

I found this book to give a practical step-by-step approach to building a wood fired stove. It does assume that either you or another has some idea of advance building skills, such as cutting stone or pouring a concrete slab. I have access to people who could do some of the skills that I do not possess for a project of this type, but what I liked was the detail on the oven that I could do. I gave it a five star reading for the book's organization as well as the pictures and the descriptions. Plus easy to read and very descriptive.

You could certainly build your oven with just this book. Mostly for brick but you could adapt a platform I am sure.

I found that this book had very little detail. There is way that anyone could build this oven using this book. This is not a step by step guide by any stretch of the imagination, I rated it one star because there may be a small amount of information that could be used (I'll give the book and author the benefit of the doubt).

I plan to combine information from several sources as I design and build my oven, this book is one of the sources.

Nice description of layering insulating refractory materials to create an nervy efficient oven. Illustrations and pictures are very helpful to illustrate the construction process.Those interested in these layering techniques may also want to look in to kiln building books, often written for (and/or) by potters.

I especially enjoyed the info on the flue damper and making the insulated door are quite helpful in this venture! Great knowledge!
