Email address, Richard? ( around 160 bricks is the answer, depending on size)

It's 7 Meg, can you handle it that size? If not, I'll show you where to download it, (not 100% straighforward).

Is that 160 bricks for the complete oven, oven base or Rayburn base?

800 degrees? Blimey! Does a wood oven get that hot?


The aim is to get it to around 400 degrees C, which isn't far from 800 Fahrenheit. It's not clear what scale Gervase was using, but given the amount of tweed, lime and his age, it could be Fahrenheit, unless there's anything older and more traditional. New fangled scale, only 300 years old, you see...

Ah. But even so 400 °c is pretty hot. Hotter than you'd cook a pizza in a normal oven. It all sounds very impressive.

That's why normal ovens are crap at cooking pizza.

They sure are comprehensive. I think mine might be a little more rustic, smaller & simpler but it does give you lots of good tips & info.

Wont the fuel cost more than buying the bricks at full price locally?


It may well do. If the brick are 4kg each and you need 160 that's going to exceed by trailer weight of 500kg. I'll need 100 bricks.

Might be cheaper to stick them on a pallet?

4kg each does sound a bit heavy.

Sadly, this is off, as he's decided he'll let me have one brick at the winning price, and after that, they're £1.30 each.

Not worth the fuel.
