Wood Oven From Reclaimed Steel Pipes

Turning unused piping from plant construction into a pizza oven.

It is an old (>1 year) project so i don't have pictures of every step, i hope it will still be clear enough.

The design is inspired bay a flammekuechen oven owned by a friend of mine. This oven is designed to let smoke pass all the way over the cooking plate and giving smoky aromas to your dish.

Reclaimed big diameter steel piping (14" for the current project but adaptable) - free

Reclaimed small pipe (2" for the current project) - free

1mm reclaimed plain steel plate - free

380mm round pizza stone - ~25€ online shop

Cut the big pipe according to the plan (dimensions in mm). Adapt the dimensions if needed, i had a 14" section

Keep the removed sections

Prepare 2 inner sections according to the plan. Adapt the dimensions if needed. Leave an open part for fumes evacuation.

Weld in place both inner sections in order to create a channel directing heat from the combustion chamber to the cooking chamber and then the exhaust 50mm - 2" pipe

Add hinges to the cutted part from the main pipe. Weld them in place.

Cut the pizza stone to the dimensions of the cooking chamber. Insert it.

Add wood into the combustion chamber and ignite. Close the doors and let the temperature rise. I reached 350°C with this design, without insulation.

When the oven is hot enough, insert your homemade pizza for a few minutes.

Enjoy !

I also tried a peach tart after pizzas, the experiment turned very well.
