Nice one Dave! My flue also lacks a funnel area, but it still draws strongly - you will get a small percentage of the smoke exit through the front but that shouldn't matter at all.

I'm also curing my oven at the moment - really looking forward to pizza soon!

Re: David's Pompeii

I'm in my 5th curing fire so I had to cook something today. I just cut up some yellow squash, put a little olive oil, garlic powder and salt/pepper. My fire wasn't lit too long, so when the flame died out I just put the pan right on the coals.

I was so into the whole process of it cooking and how long it would take that I forgot about the flavor. I don't want to be gushing over it but the first thing I noticed was the smoke/wooded flavor.

It just reminded me why I started this whole process and how much I have to look forward to. It was a nice little taste test.

Like you, I've been trying to put the curing fires to some good use and cook some simple things. I have never tasted such delicious corn cobs!

Re: David's Pompeii

With my 7th curing fire set, I will be cooking my first brick oven pizza in about 10-15 minutes. This has been a two year process that has made me bleed, sweat and cry. The fire looks beautiful. I have pushed it to the left side and will soon drop a pizza on it for cooking.

A special thank you to James and this website for all that it is, and also a thank you to all members, past and present, that have contributed on this forum, making it a very valuable and helpful resource for getting the job done.

I'm excited and thankful.
