That's pretty awesome and simple. Take pics of your build and first attempts with it.

Just kind of skimmed the video, but does he wash the cooking surface or finish it somehow?

I've always found those bricks to be porus and kind of loose on the surface, especially when new.

Could definitely see swapping that stone surface out for my baking steel

Don’t build this. It’s dangerous to use normal bricks and concrete pavers in a pizza oven setting. You need to use fire bricks and a corderite or saputo stone. Those aren’t cheap.

I agree, so, where do you buy fire bricks and thick porcelain to do the same thing here in New Orleans?

Brick supplier. Home Depot used to have fire brick, but I haven't checked in forever.

You can use any clay brick. For the cooking surface, you could span with concrete board and then put 1 layer of clay or firebrick on top of it. Even better is to get a piece of soapstone or even granite. It looks like he has some type of fired kilned material such as ceramic or porcelain as the cooking surface.

Acme Brick will sell you as many or as few firebricks as you care to buy, in full or splits.

I'm gonna try this, since I have a defunct oven base sitting in my yard awaiting conversion to something (water feature, outdoor fire pit). But I'll use a sheet of steel for the cooking shelf--it will heat up faster.

And when I'm done, I will be thoroughly reminded of what a PITA it is to manage live fire cooking in my climate/yard setting. Then I'll go back to the broiler w/sheet steel. Ha.

Did one of these a few weeks ago, got it up to 700 degrees with some firewood.

Using some left over pool decking as the cooking surface the bottom of mine didn’t burn at all and care our perfect.

I’m going to get some high heat fire place mortar and fill in all the gaps of the bricks and think it can probably get hotter

I saw that recently and put it down as a thing to try one bored afternoon. Keep us posted on yours.

Would granite be safe for this? I have a piece left over from where they cut out the sink when redoing our kitchen counters. Should be just about the right size.

Yes, pretty much any natural stone that is 1-2" thick.
