Re: Rocket Oven with 55 gallon drum
I know this may shock you, but people have actually built ovens like this before And, crazy as it sounds, they've learned from it. We've all learned from it. I gave you the benefit of the doubt earlier because I wasn't sure what your final configuration would be, but, now that I see the final setup, baking steel in a bottom heat scenario is a recipe for disaster.
Pizza bakes from below AND above. All successful pizza ovens take this basic concept into account. What you've done here is basically recreate the effect of a frying pan on a hot burner. The bottom of the pizza will be a cinder before the top takes on even the slightest bit of color.
Experimenting can be fun, but performing experiments that have already been done many times before, with completely predictable outcomes- that's wasting time and money.
