Building a portable woody woodfired pizza oven


We are about to start building our portable Woody woodfired pizza oven. We will be using it to display at shows and markets as well as for hire and catering. The oven will be mounted on a trailer to make it easy to transport. Stay tuned for photos and building advice if you want to also build your own portable woodfired pizza oven!

Hello there,

Thanks for sharing some info and pictures about your oven and its building.

I'm a small-time organic farmer in California, USA and I am looking to build a small oven similar to yours. We built a stationary cob oven to great success last summer, and are looking to take a more mobile oven on the road in order to get a higher price for our produce, and, of course, to feed the people.

And so, I was curious if you had any advice on transporting your oven. Have you had any problems with the structural integrity of the oven, after imaginably enduring many miles of travel? Was there anything you did to prepare for this strain? The concrete is holding up?

Any and all commentary on these or other issues that you came across would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you, and happy baking,
