 Re: Finally hot enough to burn off soot
You are definitely getting there. Your oven will dry over the next 6-10 fires, and you will find that it gets easier and easier to make the entire dome white.
Keep the fire in the center of the oven, and you will see the top of the dome turn white first. The flame should "lap" into the top of the dome. As you increase the size of your fire, add new wood to the sides and the back, and you get to watch the white spot get bigger and bigger, until it reaches the cooking floor. How cool is that.
Keep going!
