I am now wondering if I should buy this Alfa Moderno oven instead of trying to build my own. I could still build a nice brick base with a work surface. But at this price, it would probably be less expensive than building my own especially considering potential successive DIY failures.
The Alfa Moderno Portable Pizza Oven in Antique Red features an Authentic HeatKeeper Firebrick that absorbs and stores heat far better than the lava stone or ceramic used in other pizza ovens, resulting in a crispy, moist crust baked at precisely the right temperature. The DoubleDown Ceramic Superwool insulation between the stainless steel walls offers up to twice the heat resistance of rock wool insulation used in other artisan at-home pizza ovens, which maintains the heat for consistently perfect pizzas. Alfa's patented Full Effect Full Circulation Flue System ensures the proper temperatures required to bake both crust and toppings. The chimney at the top circulates hot air fully around the chamber and is driven back down to where it can heat the firebrick and pizza before hitting a deflector at the top and traveling up an escape where it finally exits out the chimney. The Alfa Moderno Portable Pizza Oven is a clever and efficient choice for achieving authentic, restaurant-quality pizza just about anywhere.
It's a good thing that they say it ONLY weighs 77lbs. That ain't light cause it's built right. I miss my frozen pizzas and will need to start making my own pies. Thanks for showing this puppy. **Bookmarked
While I still think it would be cool to build your own, it does seem like the costs would be far more than buying at least for a consumer based on what I am seeing in this thread thus far. This does look like a bad-ass unit and if you are building something for it, then you are still scratching the itch. Thumbs up from me.

Attjack. I would not consider a DIY propane setup. Propane seems simple, but it is not. I handled two local litigation cases for a national propane company. Had excellent outcomes, notwithstanding bad facts. But, learned enough to not follow my usual home handyman farmerize the crap out of stuff. If you want to farmerize the lights on a boat trailer, fine. Not propane, unless you already have excellent training and background. One ER visit costs more than anything you hope to save.
