Been holding back on posting this (lot's of pictures)

Y'all that know me know I don't stand still long when it comes to grills    I started a NEW pizza oven idea an here it is.
I took the idea from Ahron's rocket stove and with a twist I'm going to attempt to turn it into a pizza oven

So after taking a bunch of pictures and trying to figure which ones to use for this post.  So bare with me and keep an eye out cause I hope to have it up and test temps very soon.

I used a 4x4 inch squared steel pipe and joined to a 5x3 inch base for (as the burner)  Keep in mind this is the first time I tried this and to add to the stress level I want it to burn pellets 

OK, enough chit-chat here is the start of what I hope is the beginning of a very good pizza oven build

First, a big thanks to my brother in-law JT for helping.  My knees just won't let me do to much anymore
   








Now it's close to start testing but needs a few more things, but in the mean time I need to build a pellet basket
 


Now ready to weld the lower piece into place

Here it is sitting in a test part of the pipe I used. You can get an idea of how it will look in the pipe when installed


Here is the cooker I'm going to turn into a pizza oven (I hope) 


Again, it's a project in the works and y'all will get to watch it come together and I hope it works the way I want it to

Stay tuned..............................................

Stand back when Tommy gets an idea boiling in his brain!!  This ought to be good.  We all sensed something was in the works at the Fall Gathering.  He was "playing with" measurements and some air flow ideas on the Uuni's that were being used to make pizza.  I'll keep watching.  If I ever decide to build an outdoor kitchen, they may her one of the "toys" to install.

Good luck, Tommy.

Well just an update, got the stove welded and tried the basket out.  Worked ok but only had a few mins of burn time but was able to hit 385 before shutting it down for the night




Here it is after 5 mins of burning time.  Can't wait to do a full burm

 

Stay tuned

It looks good Tommy  , I am Waiting .

Well got to run a full test and it didn't get as hot as I need it to    Could not get past 390 but I think I know why

First here are a few pictures of the basket finished
 
Here is the handle and basket sitting in the intake

And here it is loaded and ready to go in

Here is the reason why it's not hoot enough. The intake side is way to short (red arrow) so now I need to add another 8 in's of length to it so it can get a better draw
 

Should get it done soon and get this thing cooking

[TentHunteR]

Very cool!!!

Staying tuned...
