Luis,

Done. I left the original photo and the comments, then added your photo. Thanks. The updated page is posted.

I want to take you up on your offer of bread, pizza and firing photos. Let me know the best way of sharing them. I am picturing adding them to existing pages on oven management, pizza, bread, cooking, etc. and even adding new pages. Some things you can only show with a good photo (or a good video, but that is next).

Let me know what works best for you -- you can always email me your favorites, or if they are on a server, I can download them.

You can email me directly at james@fornobravo.com

Thanks.
James

Very cool. I really like the shape of your vent arch -- and definitely; that's a reveal! :-)

You can seal a door against that door frame.

Hello all,

If you look at my pictures you will see that I am close to finishing the dome on my oven. The issue I have is I am confused on the intersection between the dome and the opening, figure 8.3 in the plans on page 35 shows the bricks mortared to the back of the arch, my dome is on both sides of the arch, are there any ideas or pictures that can help me with the intersection?

I would appreciate it.

Thanks

Do you mean that your dome is going to be hanging on your arch? That's ok. Just groove your bricks so they fit to the curve of the arch and fit the round of the dome. Les has some good pictures of that on his thread.

Thanks, I will try to enforce the bricks without rendering any weight on the arch. We'll see

Thanks again

I left about a 1/2" reveal top and sides. I did not taper the arch entry but cut the door so it was a tight fit. During firing, the door can sit near the front allowing the smoke to go out through the vent. Afterwards, the door can be slide back against the reveal to keep the heat in. I made the door out of cedar and then added an insulative layer on the back of the door.
