So if I guy had a welder and a plasma cutter, how hard would it be? And with steel prices, would it be worth it? Input appreciated! Here's a pic off the web of something like I'm talking about... I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

Most manufacturers have it worked down close to where will cost you more if do it yourself especially if count your time. “For history does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid.” , and “A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both.” Dwight D.

The cost of steel is still very high, #FJB. You may want to consider a brick oven, not cheap but cheaper and a DIY project.

Plus you need the room and equipment to maneuver the stove. Few months back 8x4 1/4" plate was just under $200 here and that was at the cheapest steel supplier here. I haven't priced steel since. You'll need at least 3 plates Last edited by adam m; 12/15/21 08:41 PM. Reason: Added text

I have been looking but so far no luck. It seems the general consensus is it would be pretty expensive to build one now. So, maybe repairing a old one might be a better option, I have seen some cheap that need work. Rags, hmmmm, I'll be looking into that oven, thanks! il. trapper, I would appreciate that! adam, that idea is very interesting. I'll have that in my head for a while lol..... I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

One sold for $25 and the other $165 I thought about bidding, but really have no where to put one. If I see another I will give you a shout. I want to build me a wood fired pizza oven for my fire ring. Last edited by MJM; 12/16/21 11:08 AM. "Not Really, Not Really" Mark J Monti "MJM you're a jerk."
