Fire bricks are used widely by professionals and seen as being much more ‘tradtional’ -especially for pizza ovens. You would be hard pressed to find an Italian -or any nationality- brick oven enthusiast who would suggest using anything but fire bricks for the inside of the oven!
Foundation Slab. The Foundation Slab is exactly that the slab on which your oven stand and oven chamber will sit. We recommend a 5 1/2 reinforced concrete slab framed using either inexpensive 2×6 studs, or material you already have that can be cut to size.
If you have a wood-burning fireplace in your home, you can grill, skewer, simmer, and cook a variety of different foods all year long. Make sure to always open the flue, and use good safety practices so you don’t get injured while you’re cooking.
It’s not a good idea to place the wood-fired oven on any wooden surfaces we recommend stainless steel or a granite or concrete slab. If you choose granite, make sure to use a ceramic board under the oven.

With the open flame of a fire pit, even the slightest breeze can move warmth out of the space. A fire pit also won’t hold the heat as long as a fireplace because the flame is not contained, but that can be good or bad depending on the season, your climate and how much heat you actually want.
