What's the dome made out of?
How did you get it to stay in shape?
How long do you think it will last?
I drive therefore I am.

Very jealous. I had a pile of bricks waiting to be turned into a pizza oven, but never pulled my finger out to make it. On the list for the next
house! Enjoy the pizza!

The setts were cheaper than the firebricks at £135. It's cost about 300 total so not locost at all.
It's made of two layers each about 4 inches thick. The inner is adobe 33% clay mixed with sand, the outer is cob which is adobe with straw
added.
You build the whole thing on a sand dome, let it dry a bit then cut the door then pull out the sand. Then fire it for 8 hours or so to harden it.
Once lime rendered and finished it should last a long time as it sets like concrete as it gets over 400c internally supposedly.
I'll post some more pictures when I get a chance
