There’s no better feeling than cooking with fire. As the very first method of cooking food, it’s a primal, ritualistic way of enjoying a meal – something that honours our ancestors from thousands of years ago. But aside from the sentimental stuff, cooking with fire is also one of the tastiest ways of enjoying food. With that smoky, charcoal-infused flavour, a wood-fired meal is in its own league of tasty. Before you’re enjoying a wood-fired pizza or a juicy cooked chicken in your pizza oven, you must lay down the refractory fire bricks. How do we do this?
DIY method
It’s possible to lay the refractory fire bricks yourself if you feel confident about it and if you’re generally quite handy with these sorts of things. This could be a good weekend project for you and the family, getting in a bit of team bonding and working together to create your special pizza oven. Laying refractory bricks involves mixing mortar, adding a skim coat and laying bricks to create a masterfully well-built pizza oven.

Installation services
Alternatively, if you choose a quality fire brick company like Sydney Fire Bricks, they offer installation services across most states, including NSW, Victoria, Queensland and ACT. Hiring a professional to lay your refractory fire bricks comes with a number of advantages.
- Guaranteed successful job
A professional team of fire bricklayers know exactly how to build your pizza oven because they’ve done it dozens of times before. This means there are no chances of things going wrong, and you will have a quality-built, professionally assembled pizza oven in no time. - Less stressful
If you stress about complex projects like laying refractory bricks for your pizza oven, then it’s best to leave it to a professional. Stress can hinder our ability to think and work clearly, meaning you’ve got more chances of making a wrong move when laying your bricks. - It’s faster
Hiring a pro is a lot faster than doing it yourself. Professional pizza oven technicians have done this heaps of times and they know all the right processes off by heart. This means your pizza oven will be ready to use in the quickest amount of time.
