Thanks PizzaIdiot and Al

PizzaIdiot I was the same I would go weeks without doing anything to the oven and all it would take to motivate me was spending a few minutes on this site. looking at peoples cooking achievements is a great motivator.
Karangi Dude kitchen thread is a classic if you haven't seen it it's a must see.

Sorry about being slack in getting back to you...
Ovens working a treat it seems and you have the roast pork down to a fine art. Don't worry about the flue size mines 2/12 bricks long and 3/4 wide and I still get smoke stain at start up...whatha... it a wood fired oven I got over the smoke stains ages ago.

Regards Dave

Hi Dave hope you had a great Christmas and new years.
The flue size doesn't worry but but it does if you know what I mean. I would prefer a clean arch but can happily live with a dirty one as it does give it character and shows it is used. I still need to acid wash the arch anyway so once done and sealed apart from what will be the dirty area the rest will stand out more vibrant.
I'm really enjoying this oven and since cooking I have found one major flaw in my landing it's not bloody level. This is a problem as when you take food out to see if it's ready you haven't got a level surface to rest it on unless you take it out completely. I'll have to fix it with something portable that's put in place when needed. All up I'm glad I built it.
