Re: Alan Scott "Artisan" Brick Oven

How do I make my album public? I haven't been able to locate a setting got that.

When you create the album there are two radio switches, one private, one public.
I think it defaults to private so you have to click the other one.

Re: Alan Scott "Artisan" Brick Oven

Just checked the album. The "public" toggle switch is toggled. Can someone go look again, please? Thanks.

Make a new album..

Re: Alan Scott "Artisan" Brick Oven

Okay. I have made a "New and Improved" album and toggled to public. It has lots of pics of the oven in progress. Please let me know if I have succeeded. Thanks.

That is a great looking oven!! You are going to be able to bake a ton of bread in that. Any plans to bake professionally in that?

Re: Alan Scott "Artisan" Brick Oven

It's located in a neighborhood with lots of kids that don't have lots to eat. So far, I've been feeding the neighborhood kids pizza, but I will be expanding my operation to bread and other things soon.

Re: Alan Scott "Artisan" Brick Oven

Wow!! how many wheelbarrows of wood does that take?

In theory, I would guess it takes roughly twice the wood it takes you to fire yours. How many wheelbarrows of wood does it take you brickie? I'm sure your quick enough to do the math mate.

Nice that you are feeding the children. Would love to see some pics of your breads when you get to it.

Mine take 1 1/2 hours to fire, with 1 barrow of wood, does it work on a straight line graph to heat more thermal mass, thats why I asked?

Guess I'm not sure if it works on a straight line graph. There are probably a lot of variables that contribute to it, that was just an uneducated guess on my part. I was assuming that your oven mass was roughly half of mine, but it may be less than that. My oven is 32"X38" interior dimensions built to the OvenCrafters plans. Takes longer to heat, but retains that heat for successive bakes.
A little inconvenient for spur of the moment pizza parties, but with a pre-fire (day before) I can have it to 900+ F in a 2.5 hours or so.

I'm sure it also has a lot to do with how big your wheelbarrow is.

Re: Alan Scott "Artisan" Brick Oven

Most wheelbarrows are in the 6 CuFt range, it takes 4 CuFt of oak to get mine to pizza temp in an hour and a half, and can then bake around 8 loaves of bread (2 batches) the next day.
