Well there we have it. About 6 hours / Rack of ribs (it is the 4th weekend) / and some beers later....

8 yards of perlite and 1 80lb bag of Portland cement. That gave me a 5 inches insulating layer.

We have covered it with plastic (not pictured) Had Coronas (not pictured ) and we will wait a week or two to see how it looks.

I think I am going to pour a 2 to 3 inch layer of Heat Cast next to beef up the base and then start with the floor.

Glad to be back FINALLY working on mt WFO !!!!

Oh - who is that masked man ??? Me of course and the other guy in the last set is my Brother inlaw. Working for future food options of course !!!

Now off to Bottega's to have some WFO food (He has a cook book out all over the country now)

We are going to the Cafe side.

I would not put a 2-3" layer of anything on there. It would be a good idea to wetset the floor brick in heatcast, but that is all you need.

Looking good!

Well hard to believe it has been a year !! Man - I am finally trying to get back moving on my oven. Been getting ribbed all year to see when it will be done. I have some help lined up and will get moving shortly. Man I have seen some cool advances and got to read some neat stuff the last few days. So I am looking forward to getting those ideas into my build.

Did I mention it is hot as fire around here !!! 100 today. At least I have a shade !!!

By 'shortly' you mean 'October', right? The heat indices are in the red zone all over the state. It's in the mid 80's outside now - 9:15 pm!

No dying in the process - it's against the rules!

Personally, I'm buying Gatorade stock...
