Okay, so I’ve been wanting to build a proper brick oven in my backyard for ages. You know, the kind that makes those amazing pizzas with the crispy crust and that perfect smoky flavor. Well, I finally decided to just go for it. First thing I needed was the bricks, obviously.
I started looking around, trying to find the best place to get oven bricks for sale. I mean, you can’t just use any old bricks, right? These gotta be able to handle some serious heat. So, I hit up the local hardware stores. Found some regular bricks, sure, but nothing that really screamed “pizza oven.”
Then, I started searching online. That’s when things got interesting. There are tons of places selling fire bricks. I found some that could handle temperatures up to 2000F, even some rated for 2300F or 2400F.
I spent a good chunk of time reading reviews, comparing prices. Some places had these insulating fire bricks in different sizes, like 9 x 4.5 x 2.5 inches, or some smaller ones, 9 x 4.5 x 1.25. It was a bit overwhelming, not gonna lie.
After a whole lot of digging, I found a place that seemed pretty legit. They had good reviews, and the price was decent, around $39.98 for a pack of 12. They were made from this Cordierite stuff that’s supposed to be super durable. I figured I’d start with a small batch and see how they worked out.
Ordered them up, and they arrived in a few days. Now, actually building the oven, that’s a whole other story. I’ve been watching videos, sketching out plans, you name it. I am thinking of saving some money and build parts of it myself. I heard it is possible to build an outdoor brick pizza oven with around $2,000 to $8,000, depending on how fancy you wanna get.
The website where I bought the oven bricks seems to sell a whole kit of stuff to build a pizza oven. They make it an easy process, it seems. Oh, I am so excited about it!
Anyway, that’s where I’m at right now. Got the bricks, got the dream, now I just gotta make it happen. Wish me luck! I’ll keep you all updated on the progress. It might take a while, but I’m determined to get that perfect pizza oven built.
