Bluestone Fires – Pizza Ovens

Bluestone Fires – Brick platform

The Pizza Oven must be placed on an appropriate horizontal surface which must be finished with a smooth cement screed to give the best result.

Keith Hamilton offers two options:  a traditional brick platform, or a wrought iron stand.

The cooking surface bricks, that come with the pizza oven, are placed lengthwise from the front to the back of the area and they are not cemented or grouted. The platform needs to be slightly larger than the metal band (supplied) which is placed onto the dried screed/platform surface of a brick platform, and it serves to hold the cooking surface bricks in place. The wrought iron stand is made to accommodate the correct amount of cooking surface bricks.

Please note:  the wrought iron stand is not available for Commercial Pizza Oven Large.

Should you opt to build your own platform, please note the pizza oven surface dimensions below:

We suggest that you build the platform with bricks and lintels and complete it with a smooth screed top surface.

Keith Hamilton offers the service of constructing a platform – as per the photograph on this page – to Gauteng residents only.
