Probably better off waiting until we get some finer weather though before you build it. You need a good run of dry days unless you can build under cover.

I have a *really* basic question to ask though - how much smoke can I expect from an oven sized roughly as yours? I'm planning to use seasoned logs, which I use indoors anyway, but never having seen an oven in action I can't envisage how careful I need to be in terms of siting it and not p!ssing the neighbours off! Cheers, Matt Hi Simon,

Adding your grandmothers ashes to the mix will not effect the integrity of the oven at all. Please bear in mind though that the ovens are not permanent and might only last a few years at most. Best of luck with it. Simon That is a lovely idea Barry. Adding your grandmothers ashes to the mix will not effect the integrity of the oven at all.

Best of luck with it.

I wish to build a pizza oven, I absolutlely love pizza. My gran is Italian (Bella) and she died a few months ago, which was very upsetting for all the family. We thought we would pay her a tribute by... building a Pizza oven. For the ultimate tribute, we intend to mix her ashes in with the clay, but do you think doing so, will effect the structural integrity? Many Thanks. Hi.
