Oven draw

[james]

Here's my second video -- this one is on oven draw and how the vent and chimney work. My favorite part is when I turn the oven on its side; the professionalism would make Wayne's World proud.

They will get better -- I promise.

Of course the good news is that I now have 6 really nice 270 gram dough balls and a 900?F oven, and it's 6:30PM. Not bad. :-)

Re: Oven draw

Nice vid James. After watching your post and Ken's, it becomes pretty obvious that a nice high arch in the opening of the oven restricts the width of the smoke exiting the dome and directs it straight into the vent of the chimney.

A flat angle iron across the oven opening releases the gasses and smoke across a flat surface evenly, and without a sufficiently high arch or wide and large enough vent, smoke spills out the sides and comes out the front of the dome. Something to consider for future builders (IMHO).

Re: Oven draw

Thanks for the video. Camera work? - Questionable. Narration? - Exquisite! Draw? - better than mine.
