Only the second fire and the dome is clearing. I guess a foot of insulation makes a huge difference.

I used 3" of blankets, 3" of vermiculite, 2" of mortar and 4" of clay brick on top.

Very nice and Im sure this one will work a hell of a lot better than the one you had built for you.

Thanks alot guys. Now I need to light some fires and dry it out to get some temps. I finished the granite around the ledge this evening.

Let me echo that! That "look" for the dome is exactly why I couldn't go the full enclosure route .

Hi guys, have not touched the oven since last fall and this week picked up where we left off and in the last 3 days with the help of two friends got all the brick veneer and chimney done along with dome insulation. Hope to finish this tomorrow.

I had the same issue, the default shipping method for 3 blankets switched to 2 day Air (I live just east of Washington,DC) so the website told me $560 shipping costs, if you call they can do better, it's some weird quirk with the website.

I got a center ceiling height of 21 and an inner arch opening of 13.5". I'm not a small guy and knew I'd need the extra inch in arch to get my body inside. I'm at around 64% ratio. Is it OK?

Mine ended up at 63 percent. Really doubt it will make any difference between that and 67... Still gets hot and makes perfect pizzas!!
