Abandoned Project - Wood-Fired Pizza Oven !


One of my oldest—yet never started—project at my house is to build a wood-fired pizza oven. Nothing beats a wood-fired oven and no good old pizza stone in your kitchen oven can do a real pizza any justice. Also once you get the pizza oven fired up, it can actually be used for so much more than just pizza. No home oven will produce freshly baked bread like a wood-fired one. I have studied how these things are build and also researched options to build one from prefabricated components. And then there was always something else to do. Maybe that was some sort of divine intervention. In my relentless research about all the good and new things I ran into this incredibly cool product. A handmade, mobile, wood-fired terracotta pizza oven which is made in Portugal. Fueled by hardwoods and fruit woods, heat builds up in the internal oven chamber and dissipates slowly through the cooler outer shell. It is said to infuse everything you bake or roast in it with this deep wood fire flavor, producing tender and flavorful fish, meat, vegetables, breads—and most importantly a real authentic pizza. The oven comes with an oven rack, cover, stand, pizza paddle and a brush. It weighs an impressive 350 pounds—but runs a little pricey I must say. But after all I cannot see how I'm going to keep myself from getting one of these!
