Re: 36" in Seattle

Way cool!

This is very unique and I can't wait to see some live plants on it. Great job on the stuccoing too.

Re: 36" in Seattle

Thanks everyone...and yes Tscarborough, I do cook in it. We're cooking in it tonight actually. I have been a little slow about cooking in it while I spent so much time on the construction, but I hope to use it every weekend from now on, give or take.

Cheers!

Great work Keith - certainly a project to be proud of.

Let us know when the party is ... we are in. ;-)

Re: 36" in Seattle

Made my first dessert pizza tonight: tiramisu-mascarpone (from the Seattle cheese festival last weekend), chocolate, strawberries. Fantastic.

Also made a pepperoni/kalamata that worked really well.

Got the oven really really hot this time. The floor was consistently in the 800s while I was cooking. The dinner pizza was the fastest pizza I've ever cooked. I didn't time it, but it was probably around a minute.

Cheers!

Re: 36" in Seattle

Congratulations Keith! 8.5 months is very impressive in my book for a totally finished oven of your type.

I've thoroughly enjoyed your thread and oven build. You've got a very unique and beautiful oven. It certainly was worth all your planning and you should be quite proud. I think that every professional or 'real' contractor who sees your oven knows the kind of work you put in to it and would be impressed. Especially since you (like many of us) have never done this before.

Your desert pizza looks great too. Cheers, Dino

Re: 36" in Seattle

Thanks. I filled the planters will dirt and put most of the plants in it yesterday, but it needs a few more plants, so I'm holding off on photos. Maybe this evening.

Thanks for the compliments.

Cheers!

Re: 36" in Seattle

Your oven is going to look great once the plants settle and establish themselves. The oven will mold itself into the surrounding landscape and be part of it.

Re: 36" in Seattle

Mascarpone-chocolate-strawberries sounds yummy - going to have to try that one.

Sounds a bit like this one on Slice today with a bit less of a desert twist - My Pie Monday: Jules's Ham, Mascarpone, and Arugula Pizza | Slice Pizza Blog

Hi Keith,

It's so nice to see the final product! It looks even better than how I imagined it would turn out. Congratulations! You must be very proud.

Re: 36" in Seattle

Planted ground covers all over the oven. They should eventually thicken up and fill in the entire exposed soil. Many of them should also drape over the sides of the oven.

The two rear corners will eventually house large pots with shrubs or small trees or tall grasses or something like that.

And the concrete counter will be covered granite; I've already bought the tile, just need to cut and apply it.

Cheers!

Re: 36" in Seattle

Not another one of those 3-tiered, planter ovens again. They are everywhere on this forum...Oh, never mind .

Your oven keeps getting better and better. It's going to look so nice when the plants grow a bit and the whole oven is going to blend in to the green surroundings. Great idea, well executed.

Re: 36" in Seattle

Really nice!!! I had planned on putting soil on my roof and planting something -- Now I'm glad I didn't - Cause mine would look so bad compared to you! Very cool.
