Re: New pre-cut kit build in Adelaide

we had a look at a some display homes and found Format homes to be a good pick out of the lot. Also, one of my Mrs friend built a home with Weeks & Macklin and she was happy with their quotation,service and quality. I haven't heard any positive reviews for Fairmont homes so they are out of my list.

Re: New pre-cut kit build in Adelaide

Just noticed with this kit from Ben that the door is right at the entrance to the oven and not the dome.
Should it not be in between the dome and the flue to avoid all the heat escaping up the flue overnight?

Hi Applor
My photos may have confused you. Both Ben's door and my home built insulated door close the dome. I place the insulated door in dome and then Ben's door at front to store them out the way when not using oven.

Ben do you sell/make an inner door for your kits at all?

Re: New pre-cut kit build in Adelaide

If you want to maintain heat in the dome you will need an insulated door that closes to the inner arch or seals inside the flue. There are a few different doors and it sounds like yours is not meant for the purpose of retaining heat in the dome.

Just out of oven, Best bread bake so far, two sourdough and four crusty Italian white.
Cooking six at once really kept the steam in oven.
Will repost in what's cooking, just had to show off.

Going to look fantastic with the granite bench tops in place!
So you plan to brick all around your oven and then maybe lay tiles at 45 degree slope on the front?

Hi Applor
The tles will be vertical on the 45 degree corner of slab.

Re: New pre-cut kit build in Adelaide

Build update - completed brickwork for remainder of outdoor kitchen, measuring up for 30mm Adelaide Black granite tops for benches and oven surround.

Have to build up slab with perlite cement to 30mm below cooking floor and place split face bricks to finish. Might add some tiling to 45 degree front edge

Re: New pre-cut kit build in Adelaide

Your oven sir, is looking fantastic. Your attention to detail (particularly at the top of the dome) was way beyond what I would normally expect to see! Nice work. I'll email you about getting my hands on some of your build photos.

Thanks Ben for the kudos, happy to let you use what ever photos you like.
