Pompeii Oven Instructions

11.3. An oven door from the Forno Bravo Store.

After you are done cooking your pizzas for the night

and the fire has been raked out of the oven you can

still cook a meal in it. An insulated door that is

placed up against the inner revel on the oven side of

the vent opening is used here. This door is located

behind the vent opening (058doorstop.jpg). A

simple, thick hardwood door can also be used, but

make sure that your handles are isolated so that you

do not burn your hands. It may burn or char if your

oven is over 500 F.

Other Door Design Options

• Mounting splits of firebrick on cement board.

• A sandwich of SuperIsol board with cement

board on either side.

• A sandwich of cement board, SuperIsol, and

wood, where the cement board faces the hot

oven.

Tips and Hints

You can build the form for your brick entry arch from either

plywood, or Styrofoam.

To get the shape you want, lay out your arch on your from

material, then mark the curve with a builder’s pencil. Cut

out the form, and you are on your way.
