Wood Fired Pizza Oven Building (A Brickie series Book 1) Kindle Edition

First off, this book is really a kindle short rather than a book and it is priced accordingly.This book contains detailed descriptions of how the author - a professional mason - built a wood fired oven, after taking a class on this subject. He discusses the trade-offs that he made with his design and why. He talks about safety, the type of thermal mass that is optimal for an oven and it's implications for the time required to achieve and to hold the target temperature. He discusses how much wood is required for a roast vs. a pizza and how coal does not generate high enough heat for pizza in this type of oven. Learning that three wheelbarrows full of wood and two to three hours of warmup are required to cook pizza may temper your desire for a wood burning brick oven. He discusses several techniques for curing the oven and what will happen if you do not.A few of the pictures and drawings used in the book are substandard. However, if you are thinking of building or buying a brick wood burning oven, then you should read the practical viewpoint of this author who is not trying to sell you one.

Misspellings, failed urls take away from what would be a more helpful guide. I would have liked to see a brick arched oven as well, something one might expect from a thirty years experienced bricklayer. It also appears the urls are not valid.It also appear

Good reference material.

This is a good start if your thinking about building a wood fired pizza oven. Not sure I would say it is a complete direction manual, but definitely a good start.

The book will be good for do it your selfers who want to have a real wood fired oven. I am impressed how well the pictures turned out on the kindle. I am a visual learner, so the more pics the better.

Lame. All info in this book is available online for free on youtube or other web search.

Looking to build a outdoor brick oven..this book contains the basic information to get started..its a nice little book and informative..

Short and to the point. My first thought was disappointment, then I realized I had all the info I needed.

When the weathers hot the last thing you want to do is fire up you kitchen oven. Outdoor cooking requires different equipment. If you are into making your own pizza's then a wood fired oven is a must. This book gives you all the information you need to build your own, so no excuses, get on with it!

A very good book indeed.

I'm planning to build my own pizza oven and so i've been looking at lots of books on the subject. This one has added a few points to my knowledge but isn't really as technical or detailed as i would have liked. The conversion to kindle is a bit poor, but like i said, if you're getting lots of info, you might as well add this to your library.Oh, and it's way too short.

For the price this book is highly informative with Helpful text and photo step by step guidance. It's the first pizza oven book I have bought but was very pleased with it.

Arrive before the allotted time Its good to see other ways of doing things but there are much better ways with better pictures and less expense
