Forgive me if this subject has been covered in an earlier post, I did go back 10 pages looking for a title that would lead me to believe it had. I'm planning on making a change to the design of the stand and would like insight as to if I were making a mistake.
While designing my oven and the kitchen that incorporates it I began to consider storage of not only cooking accessories but also fuel. I have a Big Green Egg smoker/grill that uses lump charcoal that I must consider. More significant is the storage of wood for the pizza oven. The stand design we've all seen and most have used is that shown in the plans provided on this site, that being cinder block or poured concrete walls in the configuration of a U. This of course allows for storage of our fuel...wood.
This area based on a 110 series oven or a 42" Pompeii is roughly 4 feet wide and 5 feet deep. Now the impression I get is that the optimum length log for burning in the oven is 12-16". If that is correct, I see the storage of more than one row of logs deep as being difficult to access.
In my situation where access to the back of the oven is not a problem why not construct the stand in the configuration of an H? You have a storage area on both sides of the oven and additional support in the middle of the oven.
Thoughts?
