Best of luck. Consider starting a thread for your build and posting pictures.
But the last 4 steep ones I used a round piece of ply blocked up to the correct height. Getting the ply out when it was too large for the entrance hole meant having a crescent piece cut out (Imagine a moon with a few day past full moon )

OK so I don't know if this is the correct way to cure the oven, but I'm now on the third burn, each one a little hotter. I'm doing this before the insolation and final outer shell is built. Wanted to be able to fix anything that goes wrong. Anyway here it is.

Re: New Build Oven At Granite Falls
Have a question, what do you guys use to measure the internal temperature?

How goes the build? I hope you are enjoying it. It got more difficult (for me) near the dome closure.
When I get this right the remaining rungs should go easierLast edited by man7sell; 08-13-2012, 08:25 AM.

Forgive me if this is just an optical illusion.
