I really fancy something like a Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall style pizza oven. It would certainly beat a barbecue any day.

The's a bit brash - much more Jamie Oliver than Hugh F-W.

I was thinking more:

I know it would be expensive to build as well, refractory bricks aren't cheap.

However they are more permanent than the straw and clay style ovens which don't seem to last in our climate.

If you mean cob ovens, it's because all to often they're not given a good hat and boots. Just because it's not a house doesn't mean the basic rules for constructing with cob don't apply!
 
From what I have read even if they are covered the frost can get to them, but then it can affect brick as well

Ditto most types of concrete, adobe, wood, and some types of rock. Basically, anything that's the least bit porous.

Agreed but something with vertical wall and a roof is going to fair better. :thumb:

This! :thumb:

I've recently got a pizza stone & it's had a great improvement on my pizzas, would love a full wood fired oven though...!
 
+1 for the pizza stone. They make such a difference. You'll never go back to those baking trays with the holes in again!
 
Yes I use granite chopping boards :whistle: :whistle: as baking stones they really make a difference to bread and pizza. :thumb: :thumb:
 
Mine is built into the back wall of my kitchen...

They are well worth the effort for the roast potatoes alone, never mind the pizze, bread, roast meats, etc..
 
That's how to do it!

I've wanted one in the garden for a couple of years but never had the confidence to give it a go, and now that we are looking for a move down the road to Stockport there is little point starting any projects.
 
Will you all please stop putting ideas into my silly head? That "traditionaloven" is so cool (well it's probably actually very hot at @ 500 degrees), that I now want one .... and that's never a good thing ;-)
