Well I tried to fire my oven today. At first it started as an "let's see what happens". But as my fire got better and hotter, I decided to go for the gusto. At two hours into y fire, I realized that my floor was a lot hotter than it had gotten before, and I was starting to see a little bit of whiteon the ceiling. Wahoo! I ran in the house and whipped up some pizza dough. Spread the coals around to the sides and kept adding fire. Before long, my ceiling was completely white and my floor was around 750-800. When my dough was ready, I threw in a couple of pizzas and they cooked in like 2 minutes! I was so excited.
However, it's obvious I need help with my pizza peel skills. My first two pizzas went in fine. The last one, however, stuck to my peel despite the flour on my peel. I had pepperoni, banana peppers, black and green olives, and cheese. When I wasn't to slide my pizza in, my toppings went, but my pizza did not. That was a big mess. Ah well, I guess I need to get some semolina or, corn meal. Maybe that will help.
Seven hours later, my oven floor was still 261 degrees. I'm hoping when I get the outside insulated, I'll be able to do some bread. We'll see.
