Re: Hi From Melbourne

Yes I am in Perth cook so it's good to know that you have been please with your purchase both before and after the sale! I will definitel pass on your recommendations to others if approached for WFY purchase advice.

Talking about poor service... I had my oven serviced/upgraded a few months back. After forking out $1,200 for some stainless steel and an exchange of bricks on the floor the oven is still not in a good usable condition. They had quoted me $600 to do the job initially. I was actually at home on the day the work was done so noted the time taken. When the bill arrived there was an extra hour added. When I questioned I was told to take a hike. It is outrageous in my view.

Re: Hi From Melbourne

hi heliman the instructions are very clear and if you have any questions the seller don is very happy to help out over the phone any where in australia if you live in perth i think he does offer the service of assembly but if your good with diy it is very easy . and a lot of fun i had both of my 6 and 8 year old help me they loved pouring water in to the render mix and watching the whole oven going together . before i decided to buy the oven i spoke to don several times and he all so sent a few pics of an oven in different stages which did help with the purchase and he had no problems with answering questions before hand . will keep you posted with the rest of the work on the oven mmmmm cant wait till that first pizza :-)

Re: Hi From Melbourne

Looks really good. Seems like quite a bit of work involved. What are the build instructions like?

Re: Hi From Melbourne

...the oven man i bought it from perth i did view a few in melbourne but in the end after several phone calls i did go for this oven purely gut feeling and i must say very happy so far the web site is DIY Wood Fired Ovens you deal with the man that makes them and sells them that all so appealed to me .

Yes, I have been down to that supplier a couple of times and have chatted to the owner whilst there also. He is a really great guy and has none of the arrogance and rudeness that I experienced when dealing with another local supplier. I was not actually aware that he sold WFOs beyond the larger "barrel" version which seems to be his main area of business. I am keen to see your build progressing and get your thoughts on the oven itself when completed. I have often been asked by people to recommend a good starter oven and did not have a suitable answer. I have reluctantly recommended the place I got mine from (which does produce a good product) but I would really like to have another supplier to recommend that offers an all round positive experience - without the arrogance. I am sure your supplier fits the bill here...

Good luck with the build... I can hear the pizzas sizzling away already!
