Got crack!

Dusty,
Sadly, I doubt I will be able to make the trip down. Kids in school, wife in school, baby at home on my lap. I'll bet the party's going to be a blast. I'm truely sorry to miss it.

Glad to see you're making progress on the cracks.

My thoughts on Cracks....


When I was firing my oven for the first few times... it popped and cracked and popped some more.

It's a different sort of sound than wood. A pinging tone.
**** PIng ping pong pong ****
After a while I could tell when there was another crack, just by the sound.

During the build I kind of figured the mortar in the joints would crack, but it still amazes me that bricks can crack.

I never would of guessed that.

As James told me several months ago.
"Embrace your cracks.
And enjoy the pizza!!!"



These thing will stand tall! I have some severe cracks. A brick even fell out of my inner arch. Right where the dome ties in. But the dome still stands...(waiting for repair)

So don't worry too much. (frustrating I must admit... after all the hard work)

But I really don't think that there is much that can be done to prevent them!

Yea, I figured you were a long-shot(so to speak). Thanks for the RSVP and everything else.

That would be fantastic! If you make it to Sacramento, you all have a place to stay. I'm not sure how many kids we are talking about here, but we have overflow camping in the back! And by then I hope to know my way around the WFO.

Nice! Great idea. We may be on to something here..... 1st annual World Pizza night?

Thanks for the reply. Hope to hit you up for a recipe or two soon.

Dusty -
If we can't get the world to participate, we could at least do a 1st annual Sacramento Area Wood Fired Pizza Night....I'm always looking for another reason to fire up the oven.

Telehort,
Did you see my pizza party post? It's back a few but on this thread. Check it out. You are invited.

Thanks Dusty! I will run that date past my social secratary in a few days when my wife gets back, but it sounds like fun.
If I am open that night, I would love to come.
