the author of this article doesn't sound too excited about the results though. :confused:

with that much extra thermal mass in your oven, it will probably cost 2 - 3 times as much in electricity per pizza, so throw the 14 usd number out the window

hmm... i like my pizza stone. works fine.

quoted for thermophysical truth

thermal mass will fuck a pie in the face.

Since the most important source of heat is from the sun, the ratio of glazing to thermal mass is an important factor to consider.

I was thinking the same thing, although the article claims the results are better, so perhaps it's worth it?

the key here is the fire, not the bricks

I've operated MUCH cooler homemade pizza ovens than that and let me tell you, the results are fucking phenomenal. Still best pizza I've ever had is the stuff I made in that oven.

this is stupid
