SWEET!!!!!!!!!!   

This is awesome, I can't wait to get it and start using it!  Thanks so much Willard!

Just let me know what questions you need answered.  I'll pm you with shipping details.

Cheers!!

I have a thought for this device.  Standard sized fire bricks can be stacked without mortar to make a fire box for this device to sit on.  Using lumps and wood chunks, you could have a wood(Chunk) burning pizza oven.

Hi Willard,

What type of rotating mechanism do you use to spin the bottom pizza stone ? I'm guessing it
cannot be a bearing, as that would just heat up and not work after a few uses, so would it be as simple
as a turntable spinning on a metal post ?

I'm not sure if you posted any image of the bottom part of your invention without the bottom pizza stone
to show the actual mechanism.

here are some points I tried to achieve

5.   Rotating mechanism for even baking.

I'll have to try that.

Canadianbacon,

well, no bearing and very simple, but it's not so simple to find the simple solution.
There are no secrets or not for long. but I don't want to make it too easy

Hey Willard Nice Work:

Question: I have a large 5 burner gas cook top . .  could this be used on top of the gas cook top inside?

Thanks,
Logan

logan,

I have wondered about the same thing myself
because I have been asked a few times if it will
work inn the oven, which I tested.
The whole point is that you want 200-300 degrees
more than your oven will do.
I would be interested in finding out.
Do your burners produce a good flame, and what is the configuration
of the burners and the grates. The foot print is about 17"x17"

Willard.....I was thinking about it and this would work great placed over a grate and some hot embers at a campground or in a fireplace.

Imagine this, you have a crackling fire going, some wine and there you are making pizza with your sweetie, how romantic. Nothing says you care more than pizza!

Roma Villa,

Now that both you and Randy have mentioned it,
I"m going to have to check it out.

Do you or does anybody know at what temp the soot
from an open flame burns off and the brick turns white?

Villa Roma,

While you are at it, maybe you can test out the pizza baking method described at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,576.msg18918.html#msg18918 (Reply 297) and at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,576.msg24930.html#msg24930 (Reply 373). Rounding up a bunch of rocks around your campsite, along with a few of your clever MacGyver-like modifications (mainly to get more top heat), your sweetie should be mightily impressed .

Congrats to Hopgeek!!!!  Please post LOTS of pics of the oven in use as well as finished pies!! 

And thanks to willard for a fun ride!  BTW, I followed your link to the BBQ guys... and yes, they are hot on your trail!  I found it highly interesting that one fella thought that you should sell your invention for only $50!!  He is obviously forgetting that you need to be paid for your time and ingenuity (R&D) over and above the overhead costs of materials, fabrication, marketing, etc....  methinks he's a little jealous!!

I also like how they all said their stones cracked on the grill. I've had my stone on teh grill numerous times, up to 950 deg (yesterday) and it is fine.
Maybe they shouldn't be wetting it and putting it on wet

People quickly forget the time and money it takes to develop something, and the manufacturing costs, and think an item should sell for the material cost of the item (1 lb. of aluminum: $0.50, 2 pizza stones:$15).

My gas cooktop burner configuration is basically two on the right two on the left and one in the middle.

Thanks,
Logan

Not exactly sure what you are asking, but I use a brick firebox on on my barbecue smoker and a cleaning burning fire leaves no soot.  Ask your question a different way and that might help.

I thikn he's referring to the forno bravo type brick oven, where the instructions tell you to feed the fire until you get a white ;patina on the surface of your oven dome.
