Dave, I've missed the completion of your oven and cooking area. It looks fantastic. One of the best I've seen. Congratulations on a job well done. Glade to hear you and your wife are having a good time cooking in it. It keeps getting better.
Happy pizza making. Look forward to more pics of good food form you.
Cheers, Dino

Dave, I just saw the pics you posted on anothers thread of your thanksgiving day turkey in the wfo and the bread you baked in the wfo as well. Really outstanding cooking you're doing. The food looks fantastic. You and your wife are putting the oven to good use. It's nice to finally start getting all the benefits and use now that's all done.
-Cheers, Dino

Re: Dave's Northern Virginia Build

Thanks Dino,

We were in Rome, Italy last week and went to a pizzeria with a forno a legna. My Italian is not the best but I spoke a little with the guys making the pizza, and, with a some begging, managed to talk them out of a pizza maker's hat!

Looks like it's that time of year again...at least I don't have to tarp it this time.

Re: Dave's Northern Virginia Build

Dare I say Done? Of course we have ideas left but we finally completed everything on the original plan. Specifically speaking of the doors. They are Louisiana Cyprus planks that we bought rough cut and then planed with the help of a friend and fellow Brick oven builder Gianluca. The Greenery is Boston Ivy that in theory won't harm the stucco.

Next....LED lighting under the roof eves.
