If you can make through 2 weeks for smoked cheese you can wait 3 for pizza. Looks good! Cant wait to see pizza Q-view.

Im sure you are all over it,all my knowledge came from the USA ,I thought my South Pacific fellow smoker Justpassingthru might appreciate a bit of help.Im sure stuff I take for granted is hard to get in French Polynesia . Poor guy cant get Aussie wine & we are in the region. Bloody french protectionism.I saw some built out of volcanic rock in Italy might be easier for him than imported bricks. The 3 week cure was a real test for me too. Good luck looking forward to more pictures.No problem friend. The importance of using refractory cement on the shell and a 3 week cure is not lost here. The base is done (pics tomorrow) and the shell will start Tuesday. We will do this right. The total cost for the oven and installation is about $4500 so I am not going to blow this by not following all the recommended practices. The 3 week cure is the hard part but will be done without question
Hey guys I can learn from the thread too so keep it here and I will love every commentThanks Moikel,
That's interesting, I live on an extinct volcano (at least for now) I think I can find some volcanic rock, we do have refractory bricks and mortar but it's very expensive, the rock would cut the cost considerable.
Thank you Gary for allowing this conversation, out of board courtesy I responded to Moikel's post, but I'll take it to the PMs now.

Theres a few outfits making ovens in Europe then shipping them either whole or ready to assemble.La Planol is a French version. In the right hands they turn out lovely roasts but at those high temps you dont get much margin for error.Awesome!
Edit: My wife and I have found a place that cooks pizza in an oven like that and it is amazing.
