    Re: WFO Build in Connecticut

    I'm done with the brick saw for now...Thank God! This build has tested my patience and I can tell you that I have failed! Not as aesthetically pleasing to the eye as I would like but in the end, I chose function over form....otherwise I'd be here well into September building this dome with no time for anything else.

    All in all, I am happy. On to the curing fires and pizza by week end!!!!

            Brought the oven up to 650 today. So far....no cracks. Yesterday 500 degrees with no insulation. The threat of a thunderstorm had me freaked out since I removed my canopy. The outside of the oven was blazing hot. I could not use the tarp for fear of melting it.....I had to replace the canopy.

            Today I placed the 3 inch of ceramic fiber blanket. What a difference in performance. I cooked a chicken, corn on the cob and ciabatta bread while curing. Awesome!!!!! Finally I know the worth of my work!!! Very Nice.

            Another cure fire tomorrow.........Pizza on Saturday!!!

                      My son brought home a chick last Sat. night and was kind enough to introduce me to her on Sunday morning. But I'm not sure how I would react if he brought home two.

                        Congats! and coking while curing is brilliant. I slowly burned through a bag of charcoal today - My first day with fire. Have you achieved pizza?

                          Thanks. I did achieve Pizza and it was great! I did one more dinner while curing. A flank steak idea that I stole from Dino's pics.

                            Fish,

                            Looks like you have gone from the building ranks to the cooking ranks. I am going to do the charcoal curing too.

                              Russell,

                              I started out with charcoal briquettes as well. The heat was not enough so I decided to add a little slivered oak to it. You will find that it is quite easy to maintain certain temps during your cure without fear of going too high in temp.

                              On Saturday I had my dome go white at 950 degrees and so far so good.

                              Good luck and enjoy!
