Appendix 7. Pompeii Oven Kit
Pompeii Oven Kit
Build an Italian brick oven; Just add labor
The Pompeii Oven Kits provide the essential (and often hard to
find) materials you need to build the brick oven described in the
popular Forno Bravo Pompeii Oven eBook. Each Kit includes
enough medium duty 9”x4.5”x2.5” firebricks to build the oven
dome and vent, along with 12”x12”x2.5” cooking floor tiles, high
temp, waterproof mortar, dome insulation and floor insulation—
along with the Pompeii Oven eBook on the Forno Bravo CD
ROM—delivered to your doorstep. Just add labor.
Each Pompeii Oven Kit features industrial-grade refractories
and high-tech insulators, ensuring that your oven will reach and
hold pizza making temperature and retain heat for baking and
roasting. Our medium duty firebrick and cooking floor tiles are
38% alumina, 134 lb density, and are rated to 2,500ºF. They are
perfect for a pizza oven. The FB Board and FB Blanket
insulators are rated to 2,300ºF and are incredibly efficient, and
FB Mortar is rated to 2,500ºF, and is fully waterproof for outside
oven installation. We provide enough insulation for 3” over the
oven dome and 2” under the oven floor to retain high heat inside
the oven while keeping the outside enclosure cool.
The Pompeii Oven Kit is the right solution for any brick oven
builder who wants to save the time and hassle of locating all the
pieces for the Pompeii Oven locally, and who wants to be sure
to purchase the right items. There are many types of brick,
firebrick, mortar and insulation, and the Pompeii Oven Kit is
comprised of the exact items you need. Further, many backyard
oven builders are limited to using Portland cement-based mortar
and loose, less efficient insulators, such as vermiculite and
perlite. While these old-fashioned items are functional, they are
not are durable as modern materials and do not perform—or
last—as well as state-of-the-art materials.
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, the Pompeii Oven Kits
are very reasonably priced. We purchase in bulk from a large
refractory producer, we private label the products, and we pass
the savings on to our builder community. Check around, and we
think you will find that our price meets, or beats, the best prices
you can find locally—even after you shop hard, drive lots of
miles, and use multiple suppliers.
The Pompeii Oven Kit is delivered to your house on two wooden
pallets. Using liftgate truck service, the materials are placed on
your sidewalk or driveway, where you can easily move them to
your building site.
You are ready to go. Join the Forno Bravo Forum, think pizza
and have fun!
