Hi all,
I have a Premio2G120, the big puppy. I bake sourdough bread in it weekly and I am looking for tips on how to get the temp to be as consistent as possible.
I am currently firing the oven on Sunday night, getting it clear, then spreading coals after about 4 hours of active flame. Monday morning I get up and have a surface temp of around 630-650F after I scrape, brush, and mop. I then let the oven fall with the door open and some steam to about 570F. I have been loading about 15 750g loaves at a time for about a 25min bake and can do 2 batches after which the temp has dropped to about 490F. I haven't made enough dough for a 3rd batch (i'll be trying that next week) but I wanted to see what any of you could recommend to get the temps back up to 550F.
I'd love to avoid another fire for the sake of time and added workload. I have seen gas come up but then quickly dismissed for pizza but I am wondering if I could use that for a quick boost... Or maybe some coals sitting in a barrel to load back in between batches? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
