Re: Can't get to "Pizza Hot"

The oven settled back down to about 500 F after I let the flames die down and stayed there for 4 or 5 hours cause it was still there when I went to bed. And the outside dome didn't even get warm this time. Amazing how beautiful the glow of the dome is when it is at 600 to 700 degrees. What an incredible experience. Thanks everyone.

Congrats, the part where you say "The outside of the oven didn't even get warm" leads me to believe you still had too much moisture in the oven during your previous firings, and that was the steam escaping causing the exterior to get warm.

You can get an infrared thermometer to test deck temps in different spots, they sell them at the F-B store, and the ones i really like come from thermoworks, they have combo IR thermocouple units that are a little pricey, but fast & accurate.

Yes, I need a good thermometer badly. Will order one from FB, thanks.
