Thanks Simon, liner for what mate? pizza oven? mine will be fire brick or im going to make a liner from refactory cement not to sure yet to be honest will be my winter project.

a just for what it's worth thought.

the best pizza i've tasted was in Greece cooked using wood charcoal. alas i paid little attention at the time to the construction.

currently at home my biggest bug bear is the inability to independently adjust top and bottom heat in my electric oven (the bottom heat is too much compared with the top heat). i don't know what the proportion should be but may be worth some research. my guess would be 2/3:1/3

what i do know is that i'm looking fwd to when i can justify buying a new oven with the ability to adjust top & bottom heat.

another fact i've not been able to sort is that my fav Italian restaurant cooks at 180C yet my best result is at nearer 200C.
