Option: More Thermal Mass
You do not need to add thermal mass to your oven at this
point, because the mass of the bricks and the mortar you
have used to hold it together are more than sufficient for
backyard pizza baking (or even restaurant pizza baking for
that matter). If you plan on baking large volumes of bread,
and want your oven to retain enough heat to bake multiple
batches of bread from a single firing, you can add additional
mass by applying 1/2”-2” of high heat mortar to the outside
of the oven.
