    That steak looks great. So is it gritty? what do you do to it after you pull it out of the fire?

      Ash isn't gritty, and it is sterile. It actually has no flavor generally, it is just an appearance thing. Dredge it through a lemon pepper butter sauce and it disappears.

        Yeah, the steaks come out surprising clean and any ash or embers stuck on the meat brush right off. I did a couple of more dirty steaks over the weekend, including a chunk of tri-tip and they all came out good. They were fun and somewhat entertaining for family and guests who've never seen this done before.
        But I do miss my grill marks so I'll probably use a cast iron grate elevated over a couple of bricks next time.

          Dirty deer steak is a staple around here on the lease. I usually put some horseradish in the LPB dredge too.

            As I was reading this,, I was thinking that I should thaw out some venison and cook it on the coals....You read my mind. I'm thinking I will do that very soon.

              I added an accent trim of brick ends to spice up the oven as it looked a little too bland.
              I'm also thinking of doing a decorative arch over the gentle contour of the lip using the same brickends or thinner brickends from splits which I have plenty of.
              The oven still needs final shaping before finishing it with stucco.

              Tonight I did some dino bones, corn, and potatoes.

                I would have a shot at the answer, if I had the appropriate question.

                  I think the detail and level of finnish also is worthy of consideration, the bricks in the dome specifically are very neat, and i think with a smaller dome thats even more impressive as there is less room for error.

                  I do like the smaller build tho, perhaps as the plans for mine are revolving round a smaller oven.

                  nice to see it pumping out tasty treats as its supposed to

                    Hi,

                    Since the curing fires a couple of weeks ago I haven't done much of anything to the oven except add decorative trims with bricks in an attempt to spice up the look of the oven. When I'm satisfied with the look I will begin final stuccoing.
                    Meanwhile, I just had to take a little break from the oven (aside from actually using it to cook) and get back to the honey-do-this list which I have been neglecting the past few weekends....
                    My wife is otherwise satisfied with my oven project as she's been happy with the end result: FOOD

                            Thanks guys!

                            I think I'm just about ready to apply final layers of stucco at this point. I think I will use white SBC with acrylic.

                            I finally got a beautiful hairline crack in the dome and a nice stain on my landing. I've joined the club! ..

                              Looking good! Are you going to match stucco texture on the walls?

                                Thanks Tom, I thought of matching the stucco on the wall as our family room fireplace pictured here was also finished with that matching texture (but against a smooth interior wall for contrast).
                                Therefore, to contrast against the textured wall, I'm thinking perhaps the oven should be finished smooth. I guess I can pretty much go either way...
