    Just curious, What are the layers on the steel frame? Is that hardi backer---mortar--fb board--and finally the cooking floor?
    hi letmeno

    The floor was fire brick and below that was hardbacker just to hold the firebrick...... if I did it again I would use bricks on its edge..... THE FLOOR NEEDS MORE ABILITY TO HOLD HEAT..... I laid them flat...... It still worked perfect.... but with the bricks on its side it will retian heat easier and reheat the floor faster.......

    I'm really not trying to revive an old thread. But I just finished reading the whole thing and was wondering if you could tell us how it went. I know its been a long time and your website seems to be down. But just for historic reasons, it would be cool to know what went right, what went wrong (if anything) with the oven in a trailer.

    Thank you!
    Hi Les

    Thanks for keeping me up to date..... Sky the oven turned out fine and worked perfect..... If I was going to do it again .... MAYBE hehe.... I would not make a 29 in floor. IT IS WAY TO SMALL TO KEEP UP WITH CUSTOMERS.....

    Sky, I believe Chris got booted from the forum some time back. He may have morphed into someone else, not sure...

    Chris,

    How is the trailer holding up??

    In reading the comments, the axle is uber important - I have bent a trailer Axel and it really sucks due to the excess tire wear, pulling and handling.

    My thought was to make an integrated smoker and oven for events (pulled pork= bueno! Pulled pork pizza = NIRVANA!)

    Do tell a bit more on your vent pipe - is it double or single wall?

    Thanks

    The other Chris (aka C5dad)

    Now that you've had some time with the oven, anything you would change?

    Total ignorance on my part but what are the threads sticking out all over the dome?

    I've been looking at mobile versions for some time, and I often wonder how much of it is overkill. Knowing how much extra effort went into yours for travel, then seeing this latest one with seemingly nothing extra, makes me curious. Of course more is better in this case, I suppose, but more leads to cost usually. I can't get over how much they want for a new mobile oven on a trailer. That's a lot of pies!!! Seems like a homemade version helps you make money right there. (Not to mention I've emailed him multiple times and he's not responded.)

    Chris, awesome job. Question: How do you know how many balls to make? Seems like it would be pretty much hit or miss on any given day. Do you start with X amount and start proofing more as the day goes on?

    Jon
    The reason why I used 16 gauge wire is because it was the strongest wire that you can work and keep the dome shape. then once i cut the wire in the doom shape I tied-wired the cuts together to make it strong

    Are you building a mobile unit?

    2. I dont see a problem with heat transfered becasue metal expands when heated


    1. I dont see a problem on melting or heat transfer. Because when metal gets hot it expands
    Most steel has other metals added to tune its properties, like strength, corrosion resistance, or ease of fabrication. Steel is just the element iron that has been processed to control the amount of carbon. Iron, out of the ground, melts at around 1510 degrees C (2750?F). Steel often melts at around 1370 degrees C (2500?F).
    2. Yes it is made in my warehouse on pallets so my forklift can pick it up ( it is warm in side )



    If you have any other questions ...feel free to ask

    If all goes well this will be the FIRST WFO of its kind
