Try to use as few bricks as possible - say 30, but extra points for as few as you require to build
Square pizza stones are easier to build with - but round can work too
Takes about 25 minutes to get to temperature of 800f but careful, it can get to much more and your pizza with simply burn
Fire brick takes much longer to heat to temp
Wood peel to place pizza and metal peel for taking out
Rebuild often and without reason
