I started this outdoor kitchen because I was not happy with the pizza's from the BGE. Anytime you open the lid all the heat disappears. I use an italian recipe which only produces air bubbles in the dough if the heat is ~ 400 deg Celsius.

So I looked for a real wood-fired pizza oven which would keep a 400 deg Celsius heat for a long time. I found a 8-piece DIY kit that you would 'only' need to insulate and build a roof over.

It took me 7 months to build it, but now that it's finished I use the BGE 4-5 times a week and the pizza mainly in the summer weekly, and in the winter monthly.

Bravo. Looks solid and like that it is different than most. Nice work. 7 months? I have been building mine in my head for 7 years.

Wow!

Did you find a kit for the timber framed roof?  Or did you design it by hand?  Like the wood pegs too.  Did you hand cut those as well?

A TV and a recliner and you could live in it!

That's an awesome looking outdoor kitchen!! Congratulations! I hope you continue to use it as much as you have since building it!

That is a great set up for sure.

This is very similar to what I'm wanting to build for an outdoor kitchen as well. You're helping push my idea forward. I want the brick oven less for pizza and more for bread. 
Thanks for posting. I'm bookmarking this. I may have some questions in a few months.

Great Job!  I have considered building a pizza oven for a while.  This just might be the motivation I need.  Looks fantastic.

@RedSkip, I designed it myself trying to make it look very old. The diagonal connecting beams make it very strong. We did not use the pin-in-hole method but faked it by screwing them together via a hole 3 cm into the wood, and then mask the screw head with a wood peg in that hole that protrudes a bit for old-fashioned look.

@sciAggie, you may want to follow that link to the (dutch-language) build blog I posted, there are lots of pictures there that will help you design/construct yours.

@4Runner, actually the stainless steel bars of 10 mm were not sturdy enough to prevent it from wobbling a bit when you open the BGE lid which transfers some weight to the back. I had to secure the BGE in the hole using wine corks. They insulate and can handle the heat expansion.

How high up is the egg opening, looks higher than most. I guess there is no perfect height. If you are tall, taller works for you.
