Thanks for all the great comments. I actually get to light the first fire in it tomorrow. LOL - 7 sheets of newspaper and the week long small but increasing temp fire curing gets going. Very excited.

 .... made five different pizza in the house oven and found a new favorite - ementhaller cheese and carmelized onion. That is amazing.

i used to make a gruyere and carmelized onion with a bechamel base......people loved it.......the oven is coming along nicely gary!

We are in the final stage now - only 2 more curing fires to go and some tile work to finish then we color coat and start cooking. 

Here is the first fire which was 7 pieces of newspaper 

Here is the opening with some of the tile installed but not finished 

Here is one to give you an idea of how big the interior of the oven is

Gary, morning...  She is a beauty....  I guess this means you will not be moving in the future... pretty much a permanent address ????? 

Of course iffin you did move... you could keep the place for a permanent SMF gathering clubhouse....

Gary,

YOUR MY HERO

Well we are finally done except installing  the flue cap and deciding on leaving it stainless or matching the door painting it black. Mrs Scar is the decorator in the family and has until today to decide what she wants to do LOL 

We got the decorative medallions installed and the final color coat on yesterday - now I need to wait one more day to start using it so the stucco does not dry out too fast. I have waited this long so one more day will not kill me 

Thanks for following me thru this journey - from here on in it will be pics of cooks in the oven 

 

[alelover]

That turned out beautiful. Very impressive. Having pizza tomorrow night Gary?

 

[graystratcat]

That looks just amazing.  Great job for sure!  I bet you can not wait to fire that thing up for the first cook!  I know you're going to enjoy it for many years to come.
