Cost to skim coat concrete wall outdoor4/28/2024 ![]() I had a fear of laying concrete on the top and the ball slipping through. *FYI-There is an image that shows a bungee cord around the bottom of the ball. I cut out my circle inserted the ball and BOOM. After a high school flash back, you take your CIR measurment divided by pie.3.14 and it gives you the Diameter. i measured the circumference to figure out the diameter for the circle cut out. plenty to spare Step 1: Top Dome Mold Build 5" thick Cement backer board Durarock/Fireboard $9 Bottom Floor Mold/ Cement / Fire Bricksģ. so i took a little from 4 or 5 different design to get my own.Ģ. I did not create these formulas but it seems to be very specific and backed up, so I was pretty surprised that some big companies that i looked at for design ideas did not seem to have these ratios. To high of a door and the heat escapes and the top won't cook at the correct speed and be under cooked, to low of a door top burns before the bottom is done. So lets say your dome height is 10 inches, your max door height should be 6.3 inches (63% or darn close). apparently the magic number is 63%, this was established by a bunch of scientist that studied ancient wood fired ovens. There is a lot of very specific info about dome (inside) height to door height ratio. Vermiculite absorbs water and your oven could explode. Perlite is volcanic rock, puffed up through a process so it is super airy, used in Ovens, chimneys, so on. (Perlite and Vermiculite are 2 totally different things but they are usually next to each other at the Home Improvement stores. I also planed on adding in firebricks so the pizza could cook on that surface. So after a little more research I decided to do a perlite/portland 5:1 mix with Stainless Steel Needles added for strength. If the youtube video does not work the guys user name is: JJGrice018 you can get an idea of my inspiration. I had seen a guy on youtube who built a oven using crushed pumice stone and portland cement with great success,īut he used a exercise ball as a mold, which i thought was pretty genius. So after much stalking around and youtubing i finally put together a plan to make something that is moveable (i don't say portable, i don't plan on taking it tailgating), lightweight, uses fire bricks and uses wood to cook. I currently rent and cringe at the thought of building something and leaving it behind. I had been wanting a pizza oven of my own for some time.
