Many companies manufacture ovens that can be used in your backyard. But if you want, you can even build your own oven. If you are inclined to building one on your own, obviously the first thing that you need would be bricks. You have to be really careful which type of bricks you are going to use to build the oven. You must definitely use only firebricks for this purpose because they have been built specifically for this purpose.
When you use firebricks, the biggest advantage you’ll find is that they will be able to retain the heat in the best possible manner. In a pizza oven, this is the most important thing that you need. In fact, it is the intense heat that makes sure that the pizza gets cooked in a way that the crust is very crispy and the inside is quite spongy and well cooked.
If you’re not using firebricks, the heat will not be retained and you will have to continue stoking the fire in order to get the heat to stay. With firebricks, your consumption of wood will also be on the lower side.
