With the full blessing of the minister for finance, I went ahead and ordered the Pizza Party 70x70 woodfired oven.
This oven is not generally available in Australia but I contacted the manufacturer directly in Florence Italy anyway, and to my happy surprise, he was willing to organise freight and delivery at a special price.

In preparation for the oven's arrival, I needed a bench.
Scoured eBay and Gumtree, and finally settled on this raw, wooden bench.

Visiting several hardware stores and local tile shops, I was able to get clearance priced tiles that enabled me to decorate my new bench.
Not too shabby if I may say so myself.

A quick dinner, and off to start the assembly.
The bricks went inside quickly. Some minor issues with the alignment, but a screwdriver and a nudge here and there took care of that.

One of my favourite features is the metal strip on the opening of the oven.
Apparently this is a new feature. I can already see the benefits of this strip...

I ordered the glass window door as an upgrade, not realising that they would still include the standard one. Pleasantly surprised.

Looks great - Have fun

Roughly an hour after assembly...

in hindsight, i should have ordered the longer 150x80cm bench to give me more real estate on the right hand side. but i suppose this will have to do. there's still space there for cooking items. i am considering getting one of those "island kitchen benches" to supplement my bench.

Finally settled on a nice location.

The oven looks great, I am sure you will be happy with it , there are many users here that love it. Also, love the dog - looks a lot like a yellow lab.

I have had no prior experience with wfo before so i look forward to this weekend where i have 6 dough balls waiting.

That is Jimmy my yellow lab aka the vacuum cleaner v2. Sucks every food in his path.

Sounds like fun! Can you confirm what the total height of the oven is to the top of the smoke stack?

I like your set-up.

my bench is 90cm high. the oven's dimension are here:
on this setup, i do not have to bend too much to launch the pizza as I have a perfect view of the internals.

I'm looking for the height of just the oven to the top of the chimney, it doesn't seem to be shown anywhere that I can find on the Pizza Party web site.

JJJay: Moy have correctly post the size, is possible customizable the chimney, traditional heigh chimney is 25cm = 9.8"
is possible use more long chimney or if you desire is possible reduce the reduction of smoke in the photo, is possible make many solution.
