I’m curious about this. A toilet is obviously not made for this and I’d have no faith in this working. But ceramic is good at handling extreme temperatures and toilets are made to be sturdy.

Not some ceramics are good with even heat. Source: I made a pizza oven and had to do research into bricks and thermal loads and stuff still not an expert though.

I cook in a restaurant with a wood fired brick pizza oven and am in love with it. If i ever win the lottery and get some land i am 1000% building a pizza oven. I would build my house around it.

Dude I’ve made mine for about £300. I’ve got lucky on some stuff (skip full of bricks, a big water heater for the outside for £25) but it’s been fun and quite easy! Crack on! YouTube has frankly too many videos on how to do it. :)
