Hi Leepinla,

Is that the oven we see in the 3rd picture?

Drake

[Leepinla]

No that is the BBQ side

[Leepinla]

this is the oven side

[maver]

nice work

I really like your ingenuity with the combination, but can you explain the other side? Is the opening a vent for the barbecue? It looks a bit like an oven opening but the dimensions are not oven like.

[DrakeRemoray]

Great, otherwise, that was going to be one very shallow oven.

The other side looks like a great place to grill to me, build a fire on those bricks or scoop some hot embers out of the oven and grill away!

Do you have some concept drawings you can share with us?

I'd like to see what it looks like when it's finished...before it's finished!!

Thanks

Both sides are on a thermal/insulating hearth
On the Deep Pit BBQ side
I have run a gas line
cause sometimes you want it now,
and the holes under the bbq well?
Let?s have some idea?
What do you think?
There are three of them.
2 are 8x16 about and one is 8x10

[Leepinla]

Sorry, I have no concept drawings, any concept lies lost somewhere in my head
I just get to see bit and pieces of it myself ( haha )

[Leepinla]

Ok well the holes under the bbq, are for lights, and maybe some dry ice for
All hallows eve.
I think that would look cool.
But we will see they may just be holes

The Dome

Learning how to use the saw as I go.
The next oven I build will be better. hahahahahahaha

Thanks for all the help so far.

moving up

It's satisfying seeing the dome go up, isn't it? Looking good so far.

For some reason with the -la at the end of your name I imagined a smaller person than the one in your saw image!

Wonder why you wrapped your oven floor with a cargo strap? I won't hold my breath waiting for an explanation this time

[Leepinla]

Cargo strap

Well Leepin, is a nic name from when I was skydiving, and l a, are my initials.
silly names that stick. haha
the cargo strap was so nuthing moved when I sanded the floor bricks,
and I just left it there, did not seem to be in the way,
hope this get your way in a timely maner. haha

very timely

strong work, the cargo strap is a nice bit of ingenuity, I would imagine you have now a perfectly level cooking surface. Keep sending progress photos, I'm interested to see your BBQ progress especially.
