Pizza oven DIY
Need to find fire clay bricks to make a pizza oven. So far the local brick company only makes red clay bricks - They've assured me they would work but through extensive internet research they wouldn't last very long and wouldn't retain as much heat as firebricks for a pizza oven.
Firebricks are beige in colour (which also helps with distributing light rather than the red bricks) and according to their composition - Would need one that has an alumina % between 20% to 30% and a high percentage of silica. So far, the nearest firebrick manufacture is in Saudi and they only produce bricks of 40% alumina :( {which would be bad for the pizza oven as a higher rating = higher heat conduction = uneven baked pizza with burnt bottom}
The rest of the materials needed are easily available but having a hard time finding firebricks. If y'all know of anyone who has build their own ovens here in doha through local supply, would really appreciate some info.
Hi,
Did you succeed in making your pizza oven ?
I am thinking of making one myself, any advice would be useful, thanks

Thanks! Haven't thought of that. Will definitely keep a lookout and on the plus side I love fuul, so I wouldn't come back empty handed!
Have you tried any of the local eatires that bake there own bread? I've seen the bricks your talking about at a Resturant off of TV round about. They make the best Ful in Doha and there fresh baked bread straight from there oven is amazing!!
