    Re: New build in SW Arizona

    Wow everyone, thanks for all the great input!!! Mike, after all the great input I received, I did increase my opening to 16 inches, and will investigate the picassa idea, as I've seen many use it. I do have my photo's on google + and will try to link it up later today.

      Mike,
      I do actually plan on doing more bread baking than pizza baking in my oven, but my current sheet pans are 14" wide so I think that widening my entry to 16 will suffice. Do you just bake your bread on the sheet, or on the floor? Anyone else out there, how well will the oven work with loaf pans?

        Re: New build in SW Arizona

        I bake the majority of my breads directly on the hearth although some wet breads I've put in pans to keep them from spreading instead of springing. Focaccia & bread sticks of course go in 1/2 sheet pans for baking. Some Challah, fruit, and cheese breads go on parchment paper and then directly on the hearth to keep the "extras" from burning before the breads are fully baked.

        If the oven's too hot, I've used inverted sheet pans and loaded bread on them to keep the bottoms from getting too dark...happens mostly when my neighbor brings in whole wheat to bake after my baguettes (I like 575-600F for the baguettes and she likes 450ish for the whole wheat).

          Thanks again Mike, I usually bake whole wheat ciabatta rolls for my lunch at work and was looking for info on how to do it in the WFO, looks like parchment paper will be it. I think I'm going to turn the space above my smoker fire box into a small proofing oven

                This is the recipe I've found works best, although I've modified it for my climate (increasing liquid by about 10 grams, and shortening rise times by about 60%) I also make my own "Harvest Grains Blend" with salt free sunflower, pumpkin, flax seed, and pine nuts.

                    Looks great Jeff and thanks for the recipe! One thing that I did and you can do if you want, is to click on the organize button, organize them by date, then click reverse and you'll have the most recent pics displayed first. Unfortunately and I haven't studied for a workaround, but when I post updates, I need to redo these commands again.

                      Re: New build in SW Arizona

                      I had some time this week after work to finish up the door for the smoker firebox and install it. Not quite sure what I'm going to do yet with the space above, but I'm sure I'll think of something. Too hot 110-114 F to work on the oven after work, but I hope to start laying brick this weekend

                        The door looks great. Did you fabricate it? If so, I was going to ask what thickness of steel plat should be used for the oven door...just haven't asked my nephew about this. He's an awesome fabricator.
                        Thanks,

                          Yes I did fab the door. I looked online for about two weeks trying to find a cast iron one I could build a frame for, but they were well out of the range of what my overly budget concious butt was willing to pay . I used 3/16 steel plate, and 3/16 x 2x2 angle for the frame. The plate is welded to 1 x 3/8 channel to receive the 5/8 rope gasket i used. Offset hinge is 3/4 x.125 sq tubing and hinge is 1/2 hollow tube and 3/8 rod. Thanks for the kudos

                            Cool thanks...I was figuring that I'd need between 1/8 and 3/16.

                              By the looks of your oven building skill set you won't have any problem fabricating it yourself Paul. I will be going with 3/16 plate for my oven door, with some FB blanket sandwiched between two plates. I just used a hand jigsaw to cut my smaller and curved pieces for the firebox door. The key is to use a quality blade.
