    Hey folks,

    I’m looking for cheap bricks to build my own wood pizza oven.

    Any tips to get those on a budget?

    How many do you need?
    they are always about 1e a piece for a normal reclaimed brick,but be warned.
    They are irregular as **** as i found out recently.

    Interested to see your plans as I would like to build one too.

    I got 500 off Landmark Architectural in Newcastle (Dublin) for 1e.
    He has ones for 1.50 too.

    75c is a great deal.

    Firebricks will last a lot longer, the high temperatures and heat cycling can be a problem for regular clay bricks. Concrete bricks won't last at all.

    I got some bricks that were salvaged from storage heaters that I plan to use for the base of a pizza oven, might be worth seeing if anyone is scrapping any
