 Re: *** First Fire *** Keep it damp for one week. What are you insulating with? Vermiculite concrete takes a long time longer to dry than blanket insulation.

| Re: *** First Fire *** Congratulations Mark! You move fast! Make sure you give us some pictures of the oven. I waited 10 days for the first small fire, then one every day for a week. I think I roasted peppers on day 4 and then had knockwurst on day 7... Don't worry if it cracks, they all do it! It adds character!!! Regards, Vickie |

| Re: *** First Fire *** Insulate first or after is about an even split among builders. I think you have less chance of cracks if you insulate first, but many successful ovens have been fired bare.
