It looks like we're running into an average ratio in the low .5's to the mid .6's so far.

What we need to hear from are unhappy customers....Is anyone willing to admit that their hearth height is too low or too high? What about ratio's below .5 or above .65?

Or are WFO users just so happy having a oven like me that they're glowing on cloud 9.

Just went out and measured my pizza oven hearth... Since I never planned for others to be cooking out there, I built it for me. The hearth is at 59 inches, which makes my ratio right at .75 One consideration I had in building it that high was that I wanted to make the smoker oven underneath it big enough for a full pig if I ever to the point of smoking one. It doesn't seem too high for me, I still have to bend slightly to see into the back of the oven.
Even though I planned to all the cooking, my wife ended up doing some of the pizzas at the last party, Ratio for her is .85!...i heard some griping from her, but the pizzas went in and came out okay.
