Re: 42" FB Pompeii Oven with 19" dome, and adjacent fireplace, in the O.C.
Last night was a great night! First full burn in the oven and after 2 hours the almond wood fire cleared the dome! (I expected it would as I have read but it was still a thrill to Actually see it happen).
Just as the dome cleared, I took some temp measures: I have k-wires 1 inch from fire in the top of the dome and mid wall, Additional probes Outside the dome on top, and mid wall, under the 2 inch floor tile, under the floor splits (on the insulation), and under the floor insulation.
Dome IN: 586 F
Dome Out: 515
Wall IN: 505
Wall OUT: 242
Floor 2in: 766
Floor Out:347
Base: 94
The laser thermometer was 354 on the dome arch 8 inches from the floor, the adjacent entry arch (with 1/4 gap stuffed with ceramic rope - no caulk) was about 276. The outer edge of the entry arch at the same height was 165. BTY I did not put any break in my floor tiles, just at the arch /entry connection and I will likely repeat at the Entry / decorative arch connection.
The dome continued to heat, but I turned my attention from thermometers to PIZZA
