Oven number two..

Re: Oven number two..

We lit the oven on Sunday to do a roast so not a roaring pizza fire ,yesterday morning it was still 250.
This morning its 125, and the ambient is 6 .

I always try to put the door on to retain the heat.

Hi Brickie,

Its getting cold in sydney over night so i am hoping that is one of my performance issues.

You mentioned before that you get around 250Deg C the morning after?

Questions;
1) Was that with or without an insulated door?
2) Whats your current morning temps?

I've put in insulation but only got 130Deg C,, but maybe thinking i need to keep driving out water.

Cheers,

Gummz

Youll get more replies if you start your own thread as there a few oven builders who live in SA.

Re: Oven number two..

I could smell something getting hot last night, I never imagined it to be the ceramic rope..

I now think its fiberglass rope.
That could explain things.

Re: Oven number two..

I managed to melt some ceramic rope that is silasticed to the fire brick reveal with the firing for last nights pizzafest.
The silastic is fine.

Re: Oven number two..

I have just clocked the chimney above the insulating fire bricks and it is just a few degrees above ambient so it would seem that the thermal break works well..

I forgot to add that the oven is sitting at 250c this morning from doing pork spare ribs last night.

Re: Oven number two..

The oven works a treat, it takes a bit longer to get to heat than the last one but we are still able to cook in it 2 days later because of the retained heat.

I had 2 part boxes from previous builds (oven number 1 and gas forge) but I reused most from the first oven.

1 box was Fibrax or something, the other I dont know as I dont read Korean.

Isolite is the brand name, dont you speak engrish?

Hi Brickie,

Any new updates on oven performance?

Another quick question,,,

What brand and how much ceramic Firbre blanket did you buy? Where did you get it and how cheap have you seen it for while you were searching?

Cheers,

Gummz.

Ive recruited some help to ward off bad pizzas.

Re: Oven number two..

That's not to bad when you think an oven that nice should cost $5000-8000 if not more to have it built for you.

Re: Oven number two..

This second oven cost me over $2000 in materials to build it, plus many hours to build.

Maybe 600 F which = about 300C
