Pizza Oven thread

Thug

Surely you could kick most dray walls over without much effort unless double (or more) skinned.

I think I will support the inside and double skin the outer walls to give it more side stability.

The Dude

I mean kicking a wall over is easy, whereas kicking a box over hurts your feet.

If you spin the middle wall through 90deg and use it to tie the two outer walls together halfway down their length you wouldn't need any more blocks adding? I think that what's what he was suggesting.

IronGiant

He still needs to support the paving slabs at the front, so the next best option may be to fill in the gaps halfway down.

Shame you can't use wall ties to tie the extra skin of brick to the existing and fill the small cavity with more muck.

If you just try to butt it up it will make it stronger without doubt but still has the potential for failure.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Been there many times.

With as much research as reasonably possible, sometimes you have to bite the bullet and just get on with things.

Oven is ordered and will be here next Thur, so I have a week to sort it and to let the concrete cure.

Is that under a tree canopy? In my father in laws scratch build stone and brick pizza oven, we have have flame several feet in the air from the chimney. It is bigger than yours but still.

Thug

It is yes.
I was thinking about cutting a hole in the roof and venting it out via a chimney if it does flame up.

Here is the updated version.
I still haven't finished. I need to support the out walls a little more.​
                                                                       

IronGiant

Oh yes, that looks much more secure   Great job.

The Dude

Like it.
