    Unfortunatley, no I received the pieces but was decideing whether tonuse them or do it differently...Now that its snowing im sure ill be leaving this until spring. I have the roof all tarped up but easy to pull back from the chimney if i want to use the oven. on the other hand I did cook a turkey in there and it was pretty damn good. I sourced all the stainless for my door and a friend is welding it all together for me and it will contain 4" of calsil board. Im very disappointed that I did not get the roof on but on the other hand I rather not rushbit if im not happy with something as I want it to look right. If we get a breaknin the weather I might just do it but we will see.

    How is your addition/remodel going? When you starting the new oven?

    RandyJ No I wish. The guy I was using to make my radius trim and drip edge was jerking me around so I ended up telling him forget it. I ended up finding another local company which is an architectural metal company that fabricates all types of different products for facias drip edge and commercial Window framing and all types of things and they are helping me out I just got the estimate back today looks good and hopefully can make these products very soon.

    Have you gotten the roof on it yet? Winter is closing in fast. I hope you can have it done before it snows to much.

    Well time is hard to find these days but I was able to build my soffits around my roof...Ice and water shield is installed on the chimney then cement board over that. Just waiting for my facia guy to come measure for my radius trim amd facia so he can fabricate them. I have all my roof materials...hopefully in a week or 2 the roof will be done and all i have to worry about is finish stoning the enclosure...probably in the spring.

    It is funny that we both overbuilt in the same manner. My top slab is 6" and the base is 12"+ around the edge a foot in and 6-7" for the rest and all 1/2 " rebar 8" on center.

    Hahhah I hear you my slab is 8" thick reinforced rebar 6" Centers cores filled solid monolithic pour rebar tied together...good luck.. I'm for sure going to tuck in the wood storage with the wife and kids and take cover when the tornado sirens sound...These structures we build are pretty beefy and well built that is for sure. Just read your post to my wife and then mine right now and we are laughing visualizing all this...hahha

    I finished adding the rest of the perlite in the enclosure...I feel sorry for the poor sap in a 100 years that wants to remodel the oven and gets 48 cu ft of perlite thrown at them...hahahha. I also finished all the cement board om the enclosure which was just the arched pieces...tomorrow I build the 2 soffits on both sides of the roof and wait until the rest of the roof material shows up.

    Was like the sand coming down in an hourglass lol..

    I bought 36 cu ft and went back and bought anther 24cu ft. I didn't put the last bags in yet it has been raining here. Not good to do on a windy day the area will look like it snowed. lol. Also if your going to do this make sure your perimeter walls are sealed a little hole can create a mess for you I had a little gap in the front and the perlite was just oozing out of there like an hourglass and up having to sweep up five for gallon bucketsful I didn't lose any but it was a pain in the butt. I had to act quick and seal up the gap.

    I found a company that will make my radius facia and drip edge pieces for my roof so I'm getting very excited about that seems like that parts coming together the oven will be filled with perlite in the next day or so so I hope my retained cooking will be a lot longer. the roof materials shall be in the next week or so so that I can get it weatherproofed. the next bring all I have to do is stone it and build a nicer door. getting pretty excited it's almost over
