READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE YOU BUILD – We worked very hard to bring you the most through, yet simplistic set of DIY wood-fired oven and base instructions on Planet Earth! We HIGHLY encourage you to read both sets of directions before you tear open your first bag of cement!

COMMON QUESTIONS – When companies say “We listen to our customers”, it’s designed to give customers a warm-fuzzy.. But at BrickWood Ovens, we REALLY DO listen to our customers.. we then share that Q & A with other customers! Be sure to review our very detailed FAQ Page for answers to almost any question you can think of. Odds are, we’ve already answered your question. We’ve even answered the questions you haven’t even thought of yet! We’re that good! Be sure to visit.. BrickWoodOvens.com/FAQs

SKILL LEVEL – We designed all of our BrickWood Ovens for the 98% of our fellow Americans that have zero masonry skills! If you simply read the directions a couple of times and look at the pictures, you too can build an oven that can compete with the most expensive and professionally built ovens! It’s not hard to build a top-quality oven.. and we made it EVEN EASIER!!

RENTING vs. BORROWING vs. BUYING - If this is your first masonry project, you might not have a few of the tools that are required to build a wood fired oven. Before you buy certain required tools, see if you can borrow these tools from a friend (Guys.. it’s okay to ask other guys if you can borrow some tools.. but keep them updated on your project!!). If you don’t have friends with a cement mixer or miter saw lying around, you can rent these tools at your local hardware or masonry supply.

PICTURES & VIDEOS – We LOVE receiving pictures and videos from our many awesome customers! Before you start to dig your foundation or lay that first brick, be sure to take several PICTURES and/or VIDEO CLIPS of the area you’re building your new BrickWood Oven. These pictures will be the first in a series of photos that document your progress as you construct one of the most rewarding DIY projects at your home. Be sure to use a good quality digital camera and take TONS of pictures!

Ready to send us all those pics and vids? We made it Super-Easy!! Easy as 1-2-3!! Simply visit the RESOURCES page on our website and click on “Send Us Your Pics and Vids”.. You can send up to 2GB with one click of the mouse! Easy-Peasy!

PLACEMENT OF OVEN – First and foremost, ALL BrickWood Ovens are for OUTDOOR & NON-COMMERCIAL USE ONLY! Secondly, the placement of your oven really depends on your local building codes. Many codes & HOA’s state that all “solid- fuel burning devices” be placed within “X” number of feet from any structure. Before you build your oven, check with your local municipalities and/or HOA’s to verify you build to the standards of your code.

In addition, you must remember that no wood burning oven manufacturer can guarantee 100% smoke capture. For this reason, we do not recommend placing your BrickWood Oven within 5 feet of any ceiling or covered structure. We also recommend leaving a distance of 3 feet between the oven and any structure like walls, fences, trees, etc..

Also, make sure that the front / opening of your oven faces the direction of the oncoming wind. If the wind hits the rear of the oven, it can create a small vacuum which will pull the smoke out the front of the oven.

CASTABLE REFRACTORY – This is probably a new word to your vocabulary, but you’d be surprised how much your life is influenced by this product. Castable refractory can be described as: Concrete that can withstand crazy-high temperatures. Another interesting fact.. there are hundreds of Castable Refractory dealers across the US & Canada, so you can pick some up on the way home or have it delivered. And since we’re the most awesome DIY pizza oven company in North America, we went ahead and found every refractory dealer in the country and listed them on the RESOURCES page of our website. BrickWoodOvens.com/BrickWood-Ovens-Dealer-Locations.html

TYPES OF FIREBRICK - There are several types of firebrick on the market (Low duty, Medium Duty, High Duty, Red Clay Brick, & Insulating Firebrick). It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to use a Low or Medium duty firebrick which is comprised of 35% - 40% Alumina with 45% - 55% Silica and typically weigh 7lb – 8lb each. Low and Medium duty firebrick are the best type of firebrick to use on any brick oven.

FIREBRICK COLORS – Red or Tan.. That is the question! Most firebrick dealers stock one color of firebrick and it is usually tan. Sometimes a dealer will stock both red and tan which look great together! The color of the firebrick has absolutely zero effect on the performance of the oven.

FIREBRICK SIZES – The Cortile Barile oven was designed to accommodate the two most common sizes of firebrick on the market – 9” x 4.5” x 2.5” and 9” x 4.5” x 2.25”.

In addition to those two common sizes, you can also use the following firebrick sizes –

8.5” x 4.5” x 2.5” 8.75” x 4.5” x 2.5” 9” x 3.5” x 2.5” 9” x 3” x 2.5” 12” x 4.5” x 3” 13.5” x 4.5” x 3” 8.5” x 4.5” x 2.25” 8.75” x 4.5” x 2.25” 9” x 3.5” x 2.25” 9” x 3” x 2.25” 12” x 4.5” x 2.5” 13.5” x 4.5” x 2.5”

© 2014 BrickWood Ovens / US & International Patents Pending Mattone Cupola Oven - Installation Instructions | 2 HERRINGBONE PATTERN COOKING SURFACE – Aside from looking pretty cool, the Herringbone pattern actually serves a purpose. If you lay your cooking surface firebrick in a horizontal / vertical layout and just one firebrick rises 1/16 of an inch, it could stop your pizza peel instantly (and send a nice shock down your arm). By angling the brick at a 45˚ degree angle, your peel will simply glide over the elevated brick.

STUCCO / MORTAR SHELL – The biggest misconception with the insulated oven occurs with the versatile stucco or mortar shell. This “shell” performs MANY duties and is required when insulating your oven with Ceramic Fiber Blanket. 1. The shell is 2 rock-hard ½” thick layers of STUCCO or MORTAR MIX. While stucco is preferred, it can be regional and hard to find in some areas. If a dry stucco mix is not available, a bag of standard Mortar Mix can be used. 2. Stucco is different from mortar mix as it contains synthetic fibers that increase its strength and durability. 3. The stucco is used in conjunction with the metal lathe (chicken wire) to create a reinforced shell around the oven (think of the metal lathe in stucco like rebar in cement). This shell keeps the ceramic fiber blanket locked in place around the oven and also allows the end user to mortar ANY TYPE of veneer to the oven. 4. The stucco or mortar shell can be painted, but it is preferred that you mortar a finish veneer to the shell. 5. Once you paint the stucco, you cannot apply a veneer using mortar (unless you strip the paint). 6. Only use dry stucco mix. Pre-mixed stucco is cost-prohibitive (you will need about 220lbs of wet / mixed stucco).

HAIRLINE CRACKING – When your oven is heating up, the heat causes the oven to expand or “stretch”. Please remember, HAIRLINE CRACKING IS NORMAL and will happen but is unlikely to produce product / oven failure. To keep the hairline cracking to a minimum: 1. Make sure you use the EXACT WATER REQUIREMENTS stated in the manufacturers data sheet when mixing the castable refractory. Too much or too little water will produce a low-strength refractory blend. 2. Heat your oven SLOWLY! The slower you heat your oven, the less chance of hairline cracking.

SOOT ON OVEN – Sometimes a bit of soot will land on the front of your oven, but don’t fret! Simply get a little dab of dish washing detergent, a small brush and a bucket of water – follow that up with a little elbow grease and that soot comes right off! Good as new with a fresh, clean, lemony scent!

METRIC VS. STANDARD – The measurements in our directions are shown using the Standard measurement system. If you are outside of the US, you will need to convert the measurements to Metric. This can easily be done by visiting our conversion page at: www.BrickWoodOvens.com/Conversion

CURING THE OVEN AND FIRING THE OVEN - It is VERY important that you cure your oven correctly. It is equally important that you fire up the oven correctly to get the most out of your oven. PLEASE BE SURE TO READ AND FOLLOW BOTH SETS OF DIRECTIONS THAT ARE ON THE LAST 2 PAGES OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS:

HOW TO CURE YOUR OVEN & HOW TO FIRE YOUR OVEN FOR DAILY USE

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT PIZZA – We know how excited you are to put your first pizza in your oven! We’ve been there! And we also burned the tar out of our first pizza (that took 30 minutes to build from scratch)! We HIGHLY recommend that you purchase 6 or 7 frozen pizzas from your grocers’ freezer (Red Baron / Tombstone) and let them thaw out to room temperature. Practice cooking with these disposable pizzas and once you have become a Wood-Fired Oven Jedi, go for the good stuff!

STRANGERS IN YOUR BACKYARD – Wood-fired ovens tend to attract lots of people. Some you may know and some you may not. These strangers mean no harm! They were just guided to your oven by the wonderful smell of burning wood and the aroma of fresh baked bread in the air. They usually appear during holidays, birthdays, graduations and most Sundays (especially during football season). Usually, you can give them a couple of slices of freshly baked pizza and they will scamper away, but remember, once you feed them food from a wood-fired oven, they come back over and over searching for more! You’ve been warned!

HAVE FUN! THAT’S AN ORDER! Anyone can buy a pre-built oven.. and anyone can BUILD an oven! We have taken all of the guess-work out of building your wood-fired oven and base. All you have to do is follow our step-by-step instructions and you will be hosting your first pizza party in no time! Don’t worry about mistakes – masonry is very forgiving. If you do make a mistake, simply wipe off any wet mortar and try again. If it takes 3 times to get it right, it takes 3 times.. no worries!! You just learned how to do it right for the next time!

One last note before you get started.. If you have kids, be sure to let them help in the construction of the oven. Your new oven will last for many, many years and as the time passes quickly (as we all know it does), you and your kids will always remember the fun you had building the oven together as a family. There are no mistakes when building your oven and if an “uh-oh” does occur, just remember that it can easily be fixed with some mortar!

SAFTEY FIRST!! WEAR GLASSES, RESPIRATOR & GLOVES AT ALL TIMES!! Sunscreen is optional..

- CASTABLE REFRACTORY MANUFACTURERS & DEALERS -

Arizona has 1 refractory dealer while Pennsylvania has 792.. Well.. not really that many, but there are quite a few in the Keystone state. But no matter what state you live in, be sure to call your local dealer to verify they have the castable refractory ”IN STOCK” PRIOR to arriving at their store. Sometimes castable refractory needs to be ordered and that might take a day or two.

The average cost of castable refractory is around $35 - $40 per bag.

We HIGHLY recommend renting (or borrowing) a 2.5 cubic foot cement mixer when building the base. You will be mixing a lot of cement and the mixer is a true time saver. And your back & shoulders will thank you!!

Simply Google Map “equipment rental” and your postal code. Several locations will be provided.

You will need the mixer for 1 week. RECOMMENDED!

Place all of the tools & materials you will need in reaching distance. Refractory sets quickly, so

you will not have time to search for forgotten tools and missing materials.

IT IS CRUCIAL THAT YOU MIX ALL THE INGREDIENTS EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED BELOW. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN A WEAK AND/OR BRITTLE WOOD-FIRED OVEN!

Test the consistency of the Castable Refractory by using the Ball-in-Hand testing method. After putting gloves on (yes.. we realize we didn’t have gloves on for these pictures), grab a handful of Refractory and shape it into a ball. Throw the ball 1 foot (12 Inches) into the air and catch it.

If the refractory lands with a “splat” and runs through your fingers..

TOO MUCH WATER!

If the refractory lands in your hand and feels dry like it’s about to fall apart..

NOT ENOUGH WATER!

If the refractory lands with a nice sold “thud” and stays in a firm, round form (like pizza dough)..

PERFECT!!!

Once the BrickWood Ovens foam mold has been removed and the oven has had time to dry for 3-4 days, you can begin the firing process. This is the most important of all directions! The purpose of a slow cure is to ensure that all moisture in the firebrick and the mortar exits the oven slowly and evenly. Drying the oven too quickly can result in moisture turning into steam and steam can possibly crack your awesome new oven!!

Properly heating the cooking surface is very important when using a brick oven. Simply building a fire in the center of the oven and pushing the embers to the rear of the oven will result in uneven cooking. When heating the oven, start in the front / center and spread the fire around the cooking surface for 60+ minutes. This will heat the entire cooking surface and will bring the oven to the perfect cooking temperature. Word to the wise - hold off on that pizza party until you have mastered your oven!
