I have started curing the oven since yesterday starting with small fires. I did this for three hours and there were no cracks. You can see it in the photos below.

One thing that did startle me a bit was the amount of smoke and the smell of it. I wouldn't want this to be a problem with my neighbors and girlfriend. Do you think this problem will go away if I start making hotter fires? I'm also wondering if my flue is large enough. Dimensions of the oven and flue:
- chamber > 65 cm wide and 32.5 cm heigh
- Flue/chimney > 12cm wide and 50cm heigh (from opening ceiling)
I'm also thinking about making two doors, one for closing the front and one for closing the oven chamber. Last one will be hard as I didn't make a ledge for it to stop on.
Any advice?
