Default Re: Margherita - start to finish!

It is the case indeed...if you've ever seen a full BBQ smoker with an offset firebox, it is kind of that deal. There is a door on the side where we feed logs. To get the oven up to temp (really just the first time), you build the fire on the deck and then move it into the firebox. As an added bonus, the floor actually has a motor in it that rotates at varying speeds. I will get a video of that too.

I wasn't sure how I felt about that as I like the old school ovens - but I will tell you that when we are cranking out pizzas, it is a lot easier with the rotating deck. Cooking 4-5 pizzas at once in a traditional oven is a bit stressful. The rotating deck makes it easier - but I think you get slightly better results the traditional way.

I'll take a video of that when we are busy so you all can see...
