Re: qiardano oven on cart

thanks, i hope it all comes together soon. the weather has really slowed the finish work down. i found a nice granite shelf for the front in black. i think that will be a nice contrast to the cover

james how warm must it be to mortar the floor to the insulation? i am only able to work outside.

The manufacturer gives us a tight working temperature range, and your weather is a lot colder than what they specify.

Does anyone have hands-on experience using a real refractory mortar in colder temperatures?

Re: qiardano oven on cart

received my cart and cover, i have three inches on all sides and four on the top enclosed are pics

is that a one piece refractory cast dome ?

Re: qiardano oven on cart

the cover is metal and weighs 91 pounds so when the whole thing is finished the oven will be under 400 pounds.

Re: qiardano oven on cart

finally used my oven tonight, it takes longer than the primevera to get to temperature, but it holds it much better. i was shooting for 800 deg floor , which seems to give good balance top and bottom. the oven cooked nicely ,not a big difference over the primevera 70, but the primevera needed a break in period before i got good results at higher temps.enclosed are pics

Very nice Zaman,

Give her a little time to really dry out, and you will be looking very good. I think you will see even faster heat up and better heat retention (and better high heat pizza baking). Go for the char!

Re: qiardano oven on cart

yes, after it is seasoned I'm sure it will get better, but i was very happy with the first bake!!.
