Re: Chip's 42 in Minnesota

Looks great chip,
You just need to get the rest of it placed above ground level on the rack so your termite policy wont get canceled . But, ya'll may not have quite the same problem with those critters up there as we do down here .

We do not have a big termite problem but if wood stays wet we have carpenter ants, the racks sit on sloped concrete so the area is very dry, the wood does not touch the ground the bottom is raised about 2 inches above the ground with small I beams. So I think I am good.

Re: Chip's 42 in Minnesota

I was busy over the weekend building a new wood rack on the back of the garage. Built out of some left over wood and a steel storage rack from a neighbor. I put on a shingle roof and wood pile tarps to keep off the rain. The tarps are weighted wit 2 ft long 2x2's to keep them stable in the wind.

Now. I have a proper wood storage area and it is inside the back fence so the neighbor cannot see it.

Fired the oven for bread last night and decided to make up a couple of pizzas for dinner.

Looking at those ribs?I just dribbled all over the desk at work!

I like the vertical presentation, very impressive meal!

The dry rubs seem to be quite popular in North America.

Enjoy!

Chip, I am having trouble locating Ocotforno - GianniFocaccia in the forum. I am interested in greater detail on the dome/arch build. I am also interested in specs on your IT.

Great idea for the doors for the storage area under the prep area. (post 112)
Where did you get the hinges?
Thanks,
Jeff

Thanks, the hinges are gate hinges from Home Depot they have removable pins so te doors can be completely removed if needed.

Re: Chip's 42 in Minnesota

I did a loaf like that last year, it was as hard as the cobs of hell, I chucked it out in the garden, its still there somewhere and hasnt broken down......

Can't put it in the garden, we have a dog and she would try to dig it up. The baguettes were the consistency of glass (very brittle) I ended up tossing them in the trash.

Re: Chip's 42 in Minnesota

I made some more bread the other night and got distracted for about an hour after i put it in the oven, WELL....

Here are the pictures, I am not sure but I think it is a little over done.

We almost never get snow in Late April but this was last Thursday.
