Damon,

Reinhart, as usual, is bang on. The first time I pulled a fully baked boule out of my WFO on a cold winter day, I almost panicked because of the really pronounced crackling noise. I set the bread down on my outside counter and watched as a spider web of tiny cracks developed in the crust. That's inevitable when the hearth temp is 550F and the outside air temp is around
-10 F. Didn't affect the bread any, so I just got used it. I always try to tell my workshop people to "wait, wait, it's still baking." They never listen.

When we do pizza we always overcater so toppings that are left over go to making calzones. The oven temp has dropped anyhow and the temp is perfect. Usually everyone is so full we have to keep the calzones for the next day's lunch.
