Looks fantastic. I would not mention that black was ever in the plans.

Re: Starting new 36" build

Ok, after 3 coats of stain and sealer, I am finished with the BBQ countertops. I am pretty pleased with the way it came out. It's not a solid black color - it's brown to black mix. But I like the way it looks. It's dark enough to contrast with the stone veneer, the brown tones complement the clinker brick I used for my arch, and the sheen is very cool!

I still have to clean and seal the landing. That one I need someone to help me lift off and put on sawhorses - and it is too heavy for my girlfriend to lift.

I may wait to seal it until she gets the mosaic in though.

Re: Starting new 36" build

We have surprisingly good weather here, so I got the stain onto the counters this morning. Looks brown now, I guess it will be black once I wash off all the stuff dried to the surface? I hope so.



The manufacturer doesnt really give too good of instructions for the use of this stuff. We'll see what I get!

Thanks DVM. It was a small get together, only cooked about 5 pies - but it was fun to have my dad there. He enjoyed seeing the oven at work.

Thanks. Pizza party tonight - kids, and my dad's 87th birthday. He hasn't seen the oven in person yet - but he's the guy who taught me to be confident enough to try building things like this.

Excellent to hear about the party with your Dad. These ovens are fun to build but the part I have enjoyed the most (already) and look forward enjoying for years to come is how family and friends come together to enjoy Pizza together! Wish your Dad a Happy Birthday from the WFO community!

Re: Starting new 36" build

I was wondering whether someone would reply. It looked like an advertisement to me, too.
I just had a look at the website and the oven mentioned. It just goes to show, you can cook a pizza in anything if you try.

The lights are really great. I may even need to step down the wattage on the bulbs. That's two x 50 watts. I think I would be fine with 35 watt bulbs.

Re: Starting new 36" build

Very nicely done. The lighting is excellent!

Hey DJ,

Looks very nice and ready for a pizza party. Concrete counters look like they turned out well. Job well done.

Re: Starting new 36" build

Here's a shot after I cleaned up all the stone and acid washed the brick on the lower arch. I can see the difference from the last picture. Haven't done the oven opening yet. I also found the acid wash did wonders to clean off my patio pavers! I also installed the last cabinet door.


Big task now is cleaning all my tools and putting them away. Everything is covered with mortar dust.

Oh yeah... and - let there be light!
