Firepit bricks
When I was at the hardware store, to pick up some pullys for motorizing my Country Living mill, I noticed that they carry precast firepit bricks.
Could I use that type of brick to build a quick and dirty outdoor oven?

See the video below, I personally wouldn't use angle iron because of any possible health issues.

A friend of mine made a simular oven, only they used cement paving bricks. They haven't used it much, but I don't think it would last very long if they did.
I agree that I wouldn't want to use painted metal around an oven I intend to eat out of.
I went back to the hardware store and priced out the building costs. $300 and the bricks are just landscaping bricks. The salesperson said to expect them to crack and flake with prolonged use; Not really something I'd want to find a chunk of when biting into a piece of pizza or fresh loaf.
