Hello!

We cooked our first pizza last night. The first one went outside as a pizza came in as a calzone hahah still learning how to put it in the oven. Attached is a pic of the ovens progress. The third pizza worked out ok but still learning.

I need to clean the bricks, any good methods for that?

I have some small cracks around the outside.

I noticed you are in California - Cracks Happen. Seriously, I had a few small ones and just wrapped it up. You should be good. Post some pictures, it really helps us to troubleshoot.

Curing the past few days. I may have heated it up a little too much, I have some small cracks around the outside. Suggestions?

Wow, with that great dome shape, I'd be sorely tempted to do something flashy in a russian style:

Re: Sean's Oven

Complete Oven! Its not a pretty as some of the other ones on here but I think it should work. Now for the fun part, finishing it!

Re: Sean's Oven

More Progress! I have the Arch done and I am on the fourth course I need to take more pictures though. Thought I would upload what I had on the camera. I am heading out of town for a week, so no progress until next month

I think vermiculite insulation under the oven is fine - works on mine anyway...

I know other builders have other opinions and maybe it would be even better with FB board, who knows? The fact remains, you can build a really cool oven with great heat retention with only vermiculite for insulation.

Re: Sean's Oven

The prep surface area on the side is a great idea. I'm kicking myself now for not building one.
