Fancy Indeed! Funny- I clicked on the first pic and thought "Oh, Chach has a legend inscribed on his oven". Then I read "Wonderboard lite"

My limestone arch and chimney cap were ready for pick up today so I installed them both. Finally no tarp on the chimney or anywhere on this structure. Chimney pipe finished storm collar installed . Limestone arch set and installed and I am very happy and received a "that looks fancy" from the boss! Today was a good day and I'm on the road to the end.

Yes that is exactly the problem i run into as well. I have gotten to the point where i can do pretty much anything around the house, and i can do as good or better than hiring someone that may not take pride in their work. As you know if you get stuck on a project at home all you have to do is go ask another tradesmen how they would handle situation xyz and they will generally tell you what to do. Or now you can just Google it. I am guessing that i will end up building myself to save money

It would be nice to have that in before the patio goes in.

Originally posted by RandyJ View PostHey Ricky, have you managed to get any more work done now that you can't leave home? I have been removing the remaining patio that was left from the old raised paver deck. I have smashed about 135sqft of solid concrete that is 4 to 5" thick with a 8# maul. Luckily the concreet recycling place is still open. I have hauled 3 truck loads so far and probably have 3 to 4 more to go. I can't wait to get that done. I may start digging the footing for the oven here soon if i don't go back to work soon.

No the gap at the bottom was there becaues i thought i would be using this door as a draft door for warming the oven. The smoke escapes around the edges at the top of the door because there is no seal the fit is such that enough air escapes around the edges of the door. I plug the gap you see at the bottom of the door with a rag and someday i may build a proper smoking door.Last edited by Chach; 03-22-2020, 09:34 AM.

Regarding your handles for your insulated door. I have my handle supports mounted all the way thru into the interior of the oven, they should only mount on the outer skin of the insulated door as the heat transfers thru the bolts i used as handle supports and it has even charred the skin wood of my insulated door. you may need to reinforce the outer skin to allow for this. but if no metal goes thru into the oven it is best.
I have had my insulated door for over 8 years now and still working great.

Originally posted by RandyJ View PostI will give him a few days to see if he responds. But from what I remember he built a insulated door and had the smoke pistol in the middle of the door. Have you built your insulated door yet? If not just build 2 at the same time and incorporate the smoke injector in one of them.
