    Re: Just about to build a pompeii oven

    Thanks Dmun, l like your input.
    With me it's all just trial and error, l really dont have a clue - so l welcome all of your comments.
    l can see what you're saying, it was just an idea and thats why l posted to get some feedback on it - so thank you. A regular oven is what it will be then.
    Thanks for 'the Rayburn oven door' idea, l didnt even consider the thermometer, how handy is that?
    Just hoping that after all of our building and ideas - it doesn't end up looking like a pile of junk with the oven door an' all! Lol.
    Still thinking about flue's - how high do you think l could go.
    A neighbour raised an interesting point about the smoke created by it and l'm now worried that after all the expense l could get some complaints? :{
    lt's kind of put me off a bit.

      Roastie,

      You'll find that the design of the oven guarantees very efficient burning. You'll get a small bit of smoke for about 10 minutes, but after that all you'll get is clear, hot gasses. Naturally, this assumes that your wood supply is well seasoned.

        Thank you - yes, very well seasoned
        So pleased about the smoke.
        l dont know what it's like in the US but things are really hotting up here environmentally, even bonfires are frowned upon now.
        The last thing l needed was an oven which smoked too much.
        That sounds ok a little bit of smoke for just a short while.
