Tony's Oven Build

[tdibratt]

The forms are off and I made a door of sheet metal about 2 inches thick. Filled it with vermiculite and painted it a copper color (high temp paint).

Door turned out OK but I am not too happy with it. Going to have to maybe try again and use so of the left over fibre board instead.

Next is the roof structure but weekend is here but weather is not co-operating.

Hey Tony,
That looks great. How long since the dome was complete are you going to wait before you start your firing your oven.

Was waiting to finish it. I keep it covered so too difficult to fire it up.

Very cool! I can just see the oven with various bottles of beer and/or red wine, glasses and plates of pizza sitting on all those ledges. You'll certainly find those very useful. And they look great, too!

Metal roof is on. Unfortunately I had to cover up the 2nd tier of platforms with the roof but I think it came out all right.

Well the roof is completed and as well the outer cement board and tile work. only thing left is the grouting.

I fired it up 3 times so far.

Sunday: Roof up to 300 F
Monday: Roof up to 480 F
Tuesday: Roof up to 630 F

So far so good.
