First oven build!
First oven build!
Did it over the course of two years as time permitted it, and I finished it about a month ago. I've built it primarily too cook with - in general terms. I'm no pizza og bread aficionado, so the "correct" dome shape or height was not really an overly big concern. I've lurked on these forums and youtube among other places for inspiration, and so far I am quite pleased with the result. It performs as I wished for. Time will tell if the construction will hold. I've no clue if the bonded brickwork and the iron supports will keep the oven roof from crumbling in a few years.
What remains is I need to make (as in pay the local smith) an isolated inner door to be able to better retain the heat after an evening of cooking, so I can use it the morning after. As of now I can only restrict the airflor with the outer door, and the oven will cool to about 170 c the morning after a big fire.
Let me know, what u think!
