Repaired the arch brick this weekend, ran some electricity and started preping for the scratch coat.

Built a door last weekend.
made a tray out of sheet metal.
Made a door out of tung and groove pine wainscot.
filled the tray with vermiculite and connected the two with a 2.5 inch wide alum band.
After cooking pizzas on Sunday still had 450 dome and 400 floor deg F on Monday morning.

First pizzas with 00 Pizza flour. Wow, what a difference. Made handling and sliding a breeze. also first time using my live yeast from www.Sourdo.com

That's a riot. It would be great to have a founding father stop by next time you are in San Diego. Even if you didn't have a awesome WFO, you would still need a firestick......lots of fun and completely lit is 3mins or less. Love you stone work, left a question for you on your thread.

And great build and pizzas as well!

Decades ago my father and two friends started pickleball. It still cracks me up when I see it around and about. Great game.

I need a firestick!

Pickleball, Speed Tennis, Volleyball, Basketball, Badmitten and skates are all doable. Check out Sport Court? - Backyard Game Courts and Indoor Sports Flooring.

Is that a pickleball court or tennis?

Ordered some Italian live Yeast from sourdo.com.
Made a proof box and grew some new friends.
Also got a 55lb bag of Caputo 00 Pizza flour.
Can't wait to try this crust.

Couldn't keep it easy. The front face has to 45Deg faces on each edge. The upper level has 6 faces .

I second the motion. Soak the brick and dampen the two other bricks, butter it with mortar and stick it in there.

Re: Greg's Pompeii 42" - San Diego

Clean off the mortar, put on fresh mortar and try again?

bingo.

I'd be putting the form back in there too!
