Re: Cold soaked oven

Do you mean Ditra? You can get it at home depot here in the US - but it might be a trick to form it around a dome.

No, I said it is a product that is painted on.

Wow never saw the outside with the screens. That is one great set up.

Re: Cold soaked oven

Try the waterproof membrane that tilers use between concrete floors and bathroom tiles. The stuff is painted on and when dry the tiles are glued over it. It is expensive, but if you approached a tiler they may be able to sell you a smaller quantity.

Re: Cold soaked oven

Any recommendation for a moisture barrier between concrete board and tile?

Re: Cold soaked oven

Tile/grout are not waterproof - so even when you finish your mosaic, you are still likely to have moisture problems if you did not put a waterproof barrier behind the tile.

No bugs up here.... much anyway, and the smoke keeps them away

Sometimes you forget how good we have it here! I lived in Texas for a while. I remember the bugs...

Re: Cold soaked oven

Here is the roof and structure so far. Nice to cook in the dry too.

Re: Cold soaked oven

Wow that is some awesome cover. Sunbrella is a great product. Lived on a boat for 17 years and had a lot of sunbrella, last great. Never needed to scotchguard it but I bet it doesn't hurt to do that. Thanks.

Re: Cold soaked oven

I live on the South Carolina coast, so we get our share of wet weather. I had a local canvas-maker sew up a waterproof cover for me. Cost was about $500. Guy came out and made up a template, then went and fabricated the cover from outdoor Sunbrella. Waterproofing has been very good. I have touched it up from time to time with Scotch Guard, but this thing has done wonders to help keep my oven dry in the two years that I've used it.

Re: Cold soaked oven

I think you are right, some kind of roof structure. I could extend it forward so I don't have to stand in the rain while cooking my pizza

That's pretty much what I did. I have a 16" overhang on the sides and back and a 3' one in the front, both to keep us dry when needed and to hopefully keep out most of the blowing rain. Best of luck to you.

Re: Cold soaked oven

When drying the oven remove the door if it's not raining so it can dry from the inside too. My oven will get mouldy on the inside during our wet season if I leave the door in place. Nothing a fire won't fix though.

Re: Cold soaked oven

I built my housing with an 18" overhang. Works pretty well unless it's really coming down.

Re: Cold soaked oven

Maybe something like this only larger.
