Waste of money. Seriously.

I built a 42" diameter Pompeii oven using the Forno Bravo online plans. Took me about 6 months. If I knew anything about laying bricks, I could have built it a lot faster. I used the home mix high heat mortar mentioned in this thread. I don't think you can use that mix as a castable as I believe it is not recommended for over an 1/8" joint. The guys that make cast ovens add stainless needles to the mix. I use it almost weekly in cooler weather, but not as often during the summer as it gets around 900 degrees. The oven is more versatile than my ceramic smoker. I've cooked whole pigs and redfish, turkeys, bread, roasted vegetables, etc. When cooking pizza it's best with floor at 650 to 750 degrees and the dome 900+.

You got it chief. I've had the shite to do it for 4 years. Gimme another 2 or 3 and I'll have it whipped out

If you think you will use it, it's great. A 30lbs. pig will just fit in a 42" oven. I wouldn't go smaller.

Good to know, thanks.

you can also buy the clay inserts and build the masonry around it.
We bought the actual oven and then had a Masonite do some brick around it with a roof and a table next to it

Masonite is a piece of thin, steam cooked hardwood. Inanimate and totally incapable of installing brick or any other masonry units. What you had was a "mason" putting brick around your clay insert.

By the way, what construction plans are you considering?

I've drawn it out a dozen times on paper. 50 times in my head over the last few years. It's going to be a large brick BBQ pit/smoker mainly. But on one end I want a pizza oven. Attached to the main part but a seperate cooking chamber. The bottom of it will be waist high with a brick arch over it. But the floor of it won't be brick, it will be a thick piece of steel. Underneath that will be a separate cooking chamber/oven. Basically you'll build your wood fire on the steel floor of the pizza oven and cook your pizza, meat whatever. And you'll also have what is essentially a Cajun microwave underneath with a steel door you can open to get your stuff in and out. I know how to build it, but have no idea how if it will work

Sounds like a white oven.

I prefer Menonites but they are more known for woodwork. Brick not so much.
Pawl prefers Sodomites. He claims they are better at drilling.

This doesn't really have the BBQ Pit part, but I thought this guy's setup was pretty ingenious for the smoker:

Looks cool. This is what I have in mind. To the left is the pizza oven/Cajun microwave type oven. Middle is the brick pit. The smoke/exhaust from the pit goes up thru the vertical smoker portion of the right. All will be lined with 4.5" fire brick and the exterior will be Old Chicago brick.
