Aussie photo contest finalists!

Hi All, I am the Builder of the New Zealand oven :-)
Really happy and pleased to be in the final five, this was a 5 year long project of gathering materials and building from scratch.
I have a very understanding wife.
At the side I added a charcoal grill which you can kind of make out in the picture. So far Pizza and bread have been made with great results. A roast leg of lamb and pork belly are my next things to try.
The Chimney is copper and over 100 years old, sourced from an old villa.

Looking at all these entries has given me some great ideas for the future.

Cheers
Lance

Hi all-

Beautiful pictures!

Some of you may remember me from our disaster of a stonemason building directly on the ground (for perpetually soaked insulation/failed oven). We did do the demo to the ground, and followed your generous suggestions on a raised floor rebuild. We now have a 48 inch steel disk raised a couple of inches over the ground and welded in place *onto which* to insulate and build the replacement dome. I can hardly wait, now that some other projects are over (and the rain season is soon to come) to make the new dome! Best wishes all, and when it's done I'll send photos.

Hi Peter.
Best to tack this onto your original thread as Im sure those that are subscribed to it would love to hear your news.

Absolutely stunning ovens the builders/owners should be proud. I was so envious seeing the Dora creek pic what an amazing view and location you have.

I remember that thread you had a stunning looking oven but unfortunately couldn't get it hot enough to cook no matter how much wood you burnt. Keep us up to date with your new build I'm sure plenty here would like to know how it all turns out. As brickie pointed out use your original thread as many would still be subscribed to it.

Merry Christmas everyone hope you and you families have a happy and safe Christmas... Oscar

He told me they are still "talking" to the aussie distributer to see what is going on re prize (they finally sent him a pizza peel but the wrong one)

Its a bit rough banning Warren for bringing this situation to our attention dont you think?

I agree, pretty heavy handed.

Absolutely agree, almost glad I didn't win!!

I'm wondering what exactly are the reasons behind Warren not receiving his 'prize'??
