Mind you, it's never in place when there's a fire in there. It's only used for breads & roasting and the like. Never with pizza.

    As for why not just use a metal door, simple. I don't want to. I like the aesthetics of wood. I sure don't see many others like it (not none. Just not many). And as I am a bit of a mule in my stubbornness, I'd rather go for what I want than accept that I can't have what I want. I built the oven in the first place because I could not find the pizza I wanted. What I remember having as a kid when I lived in Naples (1960 - 1963). So for me it's a small concession to have a charred door - even if I have to replace if in another other five years.

    Thank you all for your thoughts and input.

      I used steel. Stuffed with perlite.
      Never painted it, but it has aged nicely.
      Fits snugly in door opening and can snuff out the largest of fires.

        Now that is one good looking oven ! And yes that door has aged quite well and matches the oven to a tee . Like the chimney cap too
        Well done

          i used steel and made two: one insulated and one uninsulated for smoking.
          Plan on adding wood to the insulated one someday. I painted with hi-temp spray paint and no problems other than melted gloves.
