A&M's 42inch Pompeii

Thanks Doug, and thanks for your help and advise over the build you have been a great help.

Today was a huge day. Feeling of relief and joy. The vent and pipe works really well. Holding cure temps to 300 degrees on day one of fire curing for about 3 hours. Door in place for the overnight.The long pipe and the always present prevailing winds on site make this oven draw very nicely. Even on the first firing (moisture and all) I can see this oven draws and burns very nicely. Way better than my 36 inch first oven on first impressions.

Stucco treatment starts in 7 days so pizza's just around the corner.

Oven is now done. Top coat of stucco went well.

A nice surprise for us is the way the arch shapes from the ring beams reflect in the stainless pipe. These shapes get distorted in there reflection and take on a fluted look when looking at the pipe from any angle.

Sorry about the low res pictures, my camera was acting a bit funny that day. I will take a few more good ones for the pizza cook down the road and post them as a final.

Pipe draws well and heat retention seems good as also from what I can tell during the curing stage.
