We had a couple of weeks of rain so my neighbor had to go to another job where he could work inside. Finally got back on the weekend and got a lot done.  We are heading into the home stretch and I can actually light some small fires starting Sunday.

The side walls are all up and the dome is covered in Pearlite and concrete. We are now filling the rest of the cavity wit Pearlite to better insulate the oven and provide a more even heat and installing the chimney 

Installing rebar to support the roof of the oven 

Wire mesh over the rebar for more support 

The top is on and the first coat of plaster has been applied 

Here is the front with a few tiles applied.

We are going to wait until I finish the fire cure to see if there are any cracks before we go any further. More to come in about a week

It's like a pizza cathedral.

X2. Lovely clean lines,steel chimney must have saved a lot of time as opposed to masonry.

That is a work of art and should be awesome!

 

[capntrip]

Wow!!

 

[graystratcat]

That is just awesome, Gary.... I am totally pumped for you.  That is going to be such a blast to use and so much fun to teach the kids about wood fired oven cooking and cooking in general.  Just too cool....

Awesome, Gary!

Be sure to leave a space for your epitaph?  This could be your monument!

Good luck and good smoking.

We had some friends over on the weekend and experimented with dough's and sauces - made five different pizza in the house oven and found a new favorite - ementhaller cheese and carmelized onion. That is amazing. Cant wait to try it in the new oven

I'm very jealous my friend. A lot of hard work there and it looks great. I need to buy a house first but when I do I'll be looking you up for advice on building an oven.

You gotta be pretty damn proud so far! And when you take your first bite of your first pizza fresh out of the oven, you might just levitate a few inches. I would definitely give out a victory war cry after my first slice! Awesome job, congrats! Don't leave us hanging and give us some pics of your oven in action.
