Re: K79 Oven Build

I build mine the same way everytime.
2 logs on the bottom
2 in the middle set off 90deg
2 on top.
Insert my fire stick and off it goes.
No paper, never fails.

Those aren't cracks. Those are "Thermal Adjustment Expansion Joints".
Just like my wife doesn't have wrinkles, she has laugh lines.

K79,

If anyone says they don't have cracks in their build then they are probably giving you a politician's answer. I don't even look anymore, just did a 35 pie party last night and never gave it a second thought and the guest said the pizzas were great, cracks or no cracks............

you didn't invite me?...

Wear it like a badge of honour. The ovens without a fine crack somewhere are the exception to the rule. IMHO. It will settle to where it wants to be and physics say that it will not fall.

Bask in the joys of the oven.......... That is what the work was all about.

I would show you mine but I am a modest soul and try to refrain from exhibitionism!

Re: K79 Oven Build

Well everyone, the inevitable has happened. I have my first crack in my dome. Bottom left you can also see another very small one forming. Any thoughts on this. Do I just leave it be? It's pretty close to the top of my dome about 2/3 the way up.

Those tools are way too clean! Once your oven is cured, I don't think there is a "too fast" on heating it.

Getting them dirty right now haha. Thanks deejayoh. She's roaring !

Re: K79 Oven Build

Hi all just wondering about starting my fire in my oven. I've been starting my stack of wood three high about three or four pieces on each stack with newspaper on the bottom and it goes up completely from there and in about half an hour Im starting to get my dome clearing is that okay or is that too fast

A victory of function over form.

Here's a photo of my rack I made in about 30 minutes before I had guests over. Works pretty well. Not the best looking tho
