Re: Camo's new 36" build Brisbane

Thanks for the info Dave, Legendary I picked up one on the net, actually an alu one/wood handle, 1300 long from the Sunshine coast. Had a mate pick it up for $30 cash. We'll see how it goes

Anyway I've had a couple of weeks off putting in a new kitchen and worked on the oven a bit more. Added a new decorative arch and some stone work on the chimney.
On the crack side of things, All I can see after the oven cleaned itself at 500 degrees is one small crack I pointed out before and one in the front arch. Tried to patch that arch one up but really to no avail - it just craked through the decorative arch. So I'm just going to leave

I am really happy with the insulation. The inside top bricks are getting to 500 - 550 degrees celcuis and I can put my hand directly above it on the outside and the vermiculite/perlite layer is cold, not even luke warm.

Cooked our first pizza the other night - Lengendary - All that hard work, sweat and tears were finally worth it. A huge sense of relief when that pizza came out.
Now onto the door so I can throw a roast in there and start on bread

Well guys - The oven is finished (except the door)
I finished it approx 2 months ago but due to problems with camera and computer wasn't able to update.
Anyway it didn't turn out too bad with all the stuff ups I've had along the way. But who would know now. I used the Dulux medium texture as the final coat put on with a roller which covered all the bumps and flat spots on the outer layer. Added bonus is its waterproof as well - a little expensive but gives the desired look.

The oven ended up cracking with about 4 hairline cracks going half way up the inside of the dome with one going right to the top.
I don't really care as the oven will never fall over and the pizzas are fantastic. I run the oven at 500 to 550 degrees and we are pulling pizzas out in one minute ten to one minute thirty.
We've had a few people over for the "pizza Party" a few times cooking sometimes upto 50+ a night. We try a do all the unusual types of pizza toppings and as the wife is Italian we don't lack in immagination - Anyway I recommend my favorite gratted zucchini and gorgonzola absolutely superb. Still can't get them round though but I don't care as it adds to that rustic look.
Anyway the main point of this last update was to thank everyone on this site and especially Forna Bravo for hosting it. Without this site I'm sure my oven would have been a right disaster and I'm still using it as a resource, now for cooking.
When ever we have friends around they all want one but I just point them to this site and recommend Forno Bravo ovens

Anyway Cheers
Camo

Nice Camo.

That looks great. you've done a great job. As for making them round I have been playing around using the BBQ just like your one in the photos to cook pizzas. I have found that sticking them on a pizza tray and pushing them out solves that. Sounds like that wont work once my oven is finished, if your cooking them in a little over a minute.
