Ellie, it looks great!

From what I've read, yes it works as long as you take the backing off. It is over a coating of fireclay and cement.

Hi Ellie did you place regular house insulation on the dome? will that work?

[Ellie]

Re: Ellie's WFO as it it built

Thanks, the layer is 3" thick, I think. We just stripped the back off of regular insulation. The hard part was attaching the wire to the dome. He had to put screws in to hold it together. They did not go in very far, though.

Victoria Elizabeth is my only cross. She is an Ameracauna crossed with a barred rock. She is the only chicken who jumps the fence and comes in the back yard. And.. she puts herself back in the chicken yard when she has checked everything out!!

Looks great Ellie!
How thick is the blanket layer??

Is Victoria a Maran?

Re: Ellie's WFO as it it built

Whew! Finally got the insulation on. This was tough. It looks good though.

Ellie, I don't think Dale has anything to worry about. I think it is best of Victoria Elizabeth heads for the hills when you bring out the BBQ sause and beer cans!
I'm enjoying watching your WFO progress.
Cheers,

Actually the cyclone part of it was really mild, but we've been left with a massive rain depression. Seems the planet is full of weather extremes. At least a WFO uses renewable fuel which recycles carbon already in the system.

I'm so sorry.... hope you dry out soon. Dang, I had hoped my namesake would have been mild.

Cyclone Ellie has delivered us about a metre of rain. Highway cut off both north and south of us. We haven't seen the sun for about two and a half weeks. I'm firing my oven now with the last of my dry wood to try and dry it out. Pool is overflowing for about the tenth time. I think my next project is going to be a very large wooden boat, but I'll have to hurry.

If you look real closely, you can see my hen, Victoria Elizabeth making sure Dale does it right !





Just had to share...

Great looking project. It's been fun and encouraging to watch your progress. Keep up the good work.

I'm not sure, but I think so. They are very plain but I love them.

It's looking great! Your bricks look very similar to mine - are they George Town?

Re: Ellie's WFO as it it built

Thanks, I am pleased with it. The grill on the left is for charcoal or wood. The wing on the right is for storage and counter space and because it would look funny with just one side on the left and none on the right.
