Nice job bringing that oven back to life!

[K-Rimes]

I’ve been using the oven 3-4x a week and totally in love. It’s a beast. It has opened up some cracks over the arch and they spread quite a bit wider than shown when hot. Anything to worry about? should I throw more render on it? Or should I just waterproof the concrete now and call it fine?

Often the cause of cracks in the outer arch are due to the lack of an expansion joint between it and the expanding inner oven parts. This can then lead to cracks developing further on the outer shell. You should contact Forno Bravo to explain your problem and take their advice for a remedy.
