| Jim : Hey Rado, I got your CD today - Wow - Wanted to let you know and thank you again for putting all of this information out there for us - Will let you know how it all turns out. |
| Joseph : I always wanted old country cooking - you CD inspired me to build the oven. I am putting the concrete cladding on right now and hope to finish by the end of month. Thank you Rado for your superb instructions an |
| Jon B : Can't find fireclay. I have HeatStop 50, sand and possibly art-class style clay. Can I make something to lay the firebrick base on? Thanks! (added by Rado; Hi Jon, is the art class clay for pottery firing? (Don't use it if it's the play clay used only in sculpture classes.) Pottery or refractory shops sell proper coarse fireclay, costs little, you will only need 1 small bag for the whole job with leftover, and less than half a bucket for the sand/clay bed. Or find your own clay in the nature, read all about fireclay. |
| Dave B : Got the CD Friday, Slabs finished Sunday! (added by Rado: Dave, would you build for other people?) |
| Cheeko : Rado, do you think pea gravel would be a good filler for over the firebox and between the face and dome?? (added by Rado: Oh no, it wouldn't do what you want; pea gravel (from river) is heavy/dense it would absorb and conduct heat fast all around, just like the firebrick hot face and the whole dense part. For insulation in there use light-weight heat resistant stuff instead, if not Vermiculite, Perlite, blankets etc., fly ash in loose form filled in will do the same insul job in this temp range and over. However pea gravel will make a very nice ground deco around the oven, loose spread, or do you know how to mix/make own exposed aggregate!?) |
| Recession? : No way! What gets me through it much better than collecting stamps? During recessions the importance of intelligent pursuit counts. So... I will replace the old computer a bit later and rather do something my neighbours can see! :) Now is the time to invest into building my brick oven. Larry (added by Rado: good carriage, I hear the little voice in my head as well :) . Yep, do what it tells you regardless what can be seen on TV today. Remember the Y2K bug?) |
| Geo : Miss the traditional food made with wood fire. Brick ovens and stoves are slowly dissapearing with progress although we should not rely so much on progress. Efficient ovens and stoves consume little wood with very good results. |
| Rado : Redcross link to the 2009 Victorian bushfire FUND to assist individuals and communities affected by the devastating bushfires in Victoria. |
| John L : Very informative cd's, great website, lots of ideas - thank you! Now if I could only start building my oven right now, must wait till winter ends but still I am starting by making the wooden arch templates and to gather up all material. |
| Dada : Happy Valentine's Day to all pizza, roast + bread lovers. I hope it's romantic, enjoy cooking together! |
Rado : Happy New Year 2009 (calendar) to all proper pizza, bread, roast lovers. It doesn't matter what suburb you live in, or how big is your house, it matters though whether you have wood fired brick oven and, how much food you cook in it for your family or, already how many people you've managed to feed till now!  |
| Bob Brewer : Merry Christmas to all and to all great pizzas. Happy New Year |
| Deb : great site-lots of useful & important info, thanks for the sharing! |
| Carmen : Rado, my oven is finished and it looks great! We're cooking in Chicago. Should I send pictures to your gmail address? (added by Rado: Hi Carmen, yes pls send to pizzapaddle@gmail.com , larger photos and a text for your gallery page; what's cooking, what do family members, friends, have to say about new meals, atmosphere, etc..) |
| James F : Pix of my outdoor kitchen progress |
| Gary/CT USA : Recieved CD today, Thank You very much. Will keep you posted with progress. |

| Manu : Done with Oven. Must be first Rado Oven in the Philippines. Temp on probe in the ceiling of oven is 400 Celsius. Haven't put in anything to cook yet. (added by rado: I know it was a test firing. Could put chicken with few potatoes in and close the Oven, it would cook - 2 tests in one go :-) Thanks for note, email pictures about what's cooking.) |

| ktmike@charte : 9 1/4 to 17 or 10 1/4 to 17 inches which would be better for ratio door to vault hight ??? thanks mike (added: 9 1/4 with rectangular entry, 10 1/4 if arched entry, but either arched will work well with dry kindling for starting fire. |
| Craig Lubbe : Hi Rado! Just to let you know that I received the CD you promised. Thank you very much! I am bust with my varsity exams currently, so once I'm on holiday I'll get started. The CD looks great! (added by Rado; thanks Craig send a photo when cooking) |
