| Re: How Hot is too hot? After about 8hrs of oven use yesturday, (18 pizzas ,2 calzones and a few other treats) and it goes with out saying lots fo beer. We decided to burn off all of our vine and rose cuttings. The resuling fire was warm to say the least (for non-UK residents wiki: British understatement) The flames were not just going up the chimney, but coming out the top too (currently about 4-5 foot high):

| Re: How Hot is too hot? After it had all died down, we closed off the oven chamber with a piece of plate steel and went inside. This morning (12hrs later), the hearth was ~50°C around the front opening, ~100°C in the centre and the air temp inside was ~50°C. So I think a proper door will definately help with the heat retention. Though did notice something slightly amiss with the roof (again refer you to British understatement):

| Re: How Hot is too hot? After taking a few loose tiles off, something seemed to be missing:

| Re: How Hot is too hot? In hmmmm think putting that rafter against the chimney wasn't such a good idea!! Oh well, at least I know the rockwool can stand the heat! Well rebuilding the roof will keep me out of misschief!
