I have been curing my oven for the last week and I'm using the low, long and slow method. The first 4 fires which I increased by 100 degrees each day I used lump charcoal. I was taking temperature readings with an inferred thermometer on the brick at the top of the dome and then on the sides as well. On day 5 I started using small pieces of wood.
My question is do you take a temperature reading when there is a flame or wait until after the fire has died down a little. In other words, is it the temperature of the brick that needs to reach the desired temperature or is it the peak temperature of the fire.
Any information you can provide me with would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
