Hi and welcome to this build log. Besides the first images, the build is in real-time. I have no previous maison experience but as I understand, this is quite common. First time has to be some time...
It all started a few years ago after a few pizza parties in steel barrels. Design quite simular to the Uuni ovens. It worked decent but the temperature control due to lack of thermal mass made the cooking challenging.
I had difficulties to select if I was going to build a mass oven or a light weight (from IFB. Cost is no issue, I have both kinds.). A winter morning I had a long look in the fire in the living room stove with vermiculite insulated walls. It cleared in 45 minutes and really struggled to clear in the lower parts of the stove, dispute high heat output. I think I needed that visual impression to understand why it would not work properly in a WFO. My hoping was initially that it would get hot faster, but in reality - the difference is small and you can't enjoy residual heat cooking. There are a lot written on this forum as well regarding mass layer or not in the dome. I've read all I could find...
There are a few photos from the front yard where the oven is going to be built. See the enclosed photos.
