Wood Fired Beehive in Utah

[mikku]

Hello and welcome back Russell, hope that life has been treating you well.
The Japan strain of tomatoes are bust this year...way too much rain! What little was produced rotted on the vine before ripening.
Finally put a coat of stucco on the oven, but everything else is at a stand still.
Good to see you back!

Very glad you came home, S!

Thanks for the warm welcome back by the pioneers and vets of the forum. Also for anyone on the forum who wants some heirloom SM seed from last year I have a several hundred. Just send me a PM with your address. This years SMs are doing well too.

I'm really glad that Gulf twisted your arm and you came back to the forum community. Your experience and input were very much missed by those of us who were here to watch your fabulous build from the ground up. Although it's been said several times already, Welcome Back Russell !

That's a beautiful oven. I"m relatively new to the forum, and I'm glad you're here. That is a beautiful oven. Did you come up with the design for the copper cladding yourself?

Glad you're back Russel.

Gastagg,

I can't take full credit for the copper design, Larry from Chicago was the original designer, I just took his concept and modified it to meet my needs. I wake up every morning and look outside to see it the copper shingles are still there LOL.

Well!!! Maybe add a copper coating on the refractory bricks in the bottom of the tube? Rains are rare, even a bad influence on the strength of the bricks.

[UtahBeehiver]

thanks PN and DJ.

DJ, btw chicken and waffles, what you had when we went to the pub, is now my standby meal when we go there.

So I left you with some bad habits...

When you coming to Seattle? Are you a Utes fan? I have an airbnb and can put you up for the game...

[UtahBeehiver]

Bad for my figure but taste good. Yeah, we are Ute fans big game against Michigan this weekend, sold out ;-(. Need to get up to the NW and come see your oven.
