Who would have thought old propane bottles can be repurposed effectively into stove or cooking equipment for outdoor use. Making a patio heater or a pizza oven is simple when you understand all the workings of the devices. Having a combo of these is awesome! The transition is made easily because the stove pipe fits directly after you lift off the top chamber. In order to finish the DIY project, you will need to grab the following materials and tools: a tall propane tank, steel door hinge, 4″ stove pipe, Old Pizza Stone, a grate, exhaust cement, an oven thermometer, some BBQ & Stove paint, an angle grinder, a drill with hole saws, welder, sledge hammer and plasma cutter if you can get your hands on one. Follow the step-by-step tutorial on the next page and build your own pizza oven and patio heater combo.

Step 1: Cut up the Tank

An old 33kg LPG tank.

Step 2: Make the Door

“Draw on the door where and how you want it. Next drill out the corners with a 2″ holesaw, and connect the dots with the angle grinder to get your door opening. Cut your door out of the leftover metal, being sure to make it a little oversize, especially on the width. For example, if you made an 8×10″ door opening, cut a 9×12″ door (HxW). Take your door hinge and edge weld it to the edge of your door.”

Step 3: Make the Flue

Eating pizza is not an unhealthy habit, and definitely not an obscene one like many would like to suggest. The benefits and hazards of eating pizza depends a lot on what ingredients has the pizza you’re going to consume for lunch or dinner. But besides all of this debate, there is the simple pleasure of making your own pizza and eating it with your family and friends. For this result to be the best, a pizza oven will definitely prove quite useful. Building your own pizza oven might seem like a great challenge at first, but when you see how a DIY project like this is completed, you will be eager to try it in your own yard. In similarity with bread-making ovens, this type of construction is designed and built with materials that are resistant to fire.

Man up your garden with this adventurous DIY project. Take the bold step of making your own pizza oven in the backyard. We won’t lie to you, it will need some work. So, roll up your sleeves and grab those bags of cement. Here is what you will need to do in order to succeed with your future pizzas:

• a bag or more of sharp sand;
• a bag of builders sand (perfect for detailed work);
• a bag of cement;
• some aggregate;
• a spade for mixing;
• a trowel for brick laying;
• some heat resistant bricks;
• a large sheet of cellophane;
• some unused pieces of wood or foam; for shaping the arch;
• a wooden pallet;
• a drill;
• some wood screws;
• a wood saw;
• an outdoor chipboard;
• (optional) a bucket or pot for the chimney;

To begin with, you must know that the amounts suggested may vary according to what size you want the oven to be. First, create the base with the help of the pallet. Mix one part cement with two parts sharp sand and four parts aggregate and pour it in the wooden pallet mould with the spade. Flatten the surface via a long wooden baton.
