 Re: dmun's 36" geodesic oven part II David, I feel like a happy in-law -- proud to be involved. This is just great. Congratulations on your first fire, and may there be many more fires and great food for years to come. Complimenti, James

| Re: dmun's 36" geodesic oven part II David, FANTASTIC! Glad to see that first fire. Its been an inspirational treat following your project all these months. The tower is incredible. I know its been said before, but, your attention to detail, planning, and execution have only been matched by a few (if anyone) on the forum. This is one of those times where it can be said - you COULD give up your day job. Great work RT |

| Re: dmun's 36" geodesic oven part II Master Time Maker and wow Master Brick Layer. A very nice and inspring journey you have taken us on. I stated to james one day that Your build needs either its own folder on the forum or a seperate section with links to the series. This is outstanding. |

| Re: dmun's 36" geodesic oven part II Here's a fun note: using my plans, the wild folks at MHA built a geodesic oven out of raw clay, and tried firing it the same day. Hilarity ensued. The money quote: "Beer, pizza and blowing things up - heater mason nirvana."  I think the failure of this oven is less an condemnation of the geodesic system than the result of building a fire in any green clay oven. |

| Re: dmun's 36" geodesic oven part II Obviously they forgot throwing clay pieces from their youth. Curing clay takes time and boy oh boy did they rush it. from the monolithic slabs that they were using the dome shapes would need about a month to cure and then fire before being put into place. Also you need to be very careful about introducing air into the clay piece as you make it. More beer and more fun than you can shake a stick at. |

| Re: dmun's 36" geodesic oven part II I love how they have Dmun's plans and pictures printed out and laying next to the oven on the table.
