Wood fired Pizza oven in progress
I have a supply of all kinds of tiles left over from jobs. I am wondering if I could cut and stack, say 4" wide tiles to use as oven walls bonding them using refractory cement and/or fire resisting caulking?

There are several things I have learned from building my brick bread oven that may benefit someone planning to build one.
Size.
I can't wait to get back down to Ajijic and find out if this bread and bakery is still available. Talk about rustic!
I've just got a Kamado Joe (like the Big Green Egg but red) :-)
I did one loaf - used the heat deflectors on the base, and the pizza stone higher up on a rack
210-220C for 40mins
The bread baked OK (though I think I need more water) however the base of the bread is badly burned
Any suggestions please on the setup?
Many thanks!!
Just getting started. The oven will be in a wooded side yard. Had the foundation poured on Weds 6/14. Buying the block and brick tomorrow/Sat. And hope to do some dry layouts of the block next week. Then start building the block walls.
Pictures over time.

This is a follow up to my message of last month asking if anyone wanted to go to southwest France and learn more about wood-oven baking via Pilgrims au Pain. Pardon the long message.
I attended the Pilgrims au Pain session from May 23 to 31, 2017, and what a trip!
Pilgrims au Pain is a joint effort of Ann Lokey (incredible hostess) and Pat Hains (master baker), and it's located in Saint Cirq Lapopie, France's “Most Beautiful Village”.
I highly recommend the experience.
I am a member of a medieval recreation group, and I want to get into bread baking. I want to construct my own oven that would be historically accurate to something that wouldve been used in 16th century Tudor England. I know cob ovens were used, but are there other options availabe to me? I can't seem to find any further information about the varying oven types. Thank you!
Hi all,
This feels a little redundant, but I just wanted to put a request out for building plans for the AS 4' x 6' oven. If anyone can help out or point me in the right direction, my email is zanez23@yahoo.com. Thanks.
