Hi from Tassie

[Steady]

G'day to everyone. I am from the NW coast of Tasmania, Australia. I have been lurking on and off for about 18 months researching wood fired ovens. I have decided to jump in and build a brick oven in the Pompeii style and in late 2014 purchased a kit from the Melbourne Fire Brick Co. I have started digging my stand foundations and will post my build as I go. I have allowed 9 months for my build - my aim is to cook Pizza for Christmas.

Thanks to everyone for all of the info posted and the advice given to newbies like me.

Re: Hi from Tassie

Welcome Steady - You have embarked on a very worthwhile project. The path leads to a few head scratching times but the rewards are great indeed.

I love Tassie and the NW coast is a great place to visit and I expect a great place to live when the weather is good. I have a sister in Hobart and have visited the Apple Isle quite a few times. If it was not for the cold I would move there!

You will no doubt have some questions and there are people with experience here to help out with advice.

All the best with the build. You seem to be well researched and that is a great start.

Re: Hi from Tassie

Thanks Greenman, the weather here this time of year is not the best. I spend a lot of time in warmer climes for work and it makes it harder to cope with the Tassie winters but it is home.

I already have a question. I will post it in my build thread when I have taken a photo to go with it.
