The oven itself can be used as a smoker, if used/done right. I was thinking about adding a completely separate smoker cabinet but i decided it would be too much and would take up more space. I am building a BBQ pit, its pretty deep so i can smoke in that also, i plan on making a hinged door for the BBQ pit so i can smoke in that also.

I FINALLY started on the dome today. We got a good amount of work done for 5 1/2 hours.
Here were laying 4" of Calcium Silicate insulation board.
Here is floor laid out, no fireclay/sand needed, except in some low areas.
Then we started to move along. The form isn't really being used except to just have a general idea of how the dome circulates, it will become more useful at the top.

The gaps are not that large, its just the mortar
We then realized the arch was not done right, so we re did it.

Looking good, ROCK ON!!
My wife is flying into Ontario tomorrow and will be in West Covina this week at one of her branches, fortunately it does not look like you need an inspector yet. :laugh:
BTW, nice grouting work on the inside, stay with it.
If you take a look a some of the pics Carbon posted, his looks perfect.
I however, have some touch up to do on the inside... Just having too much fun to not use it for two weeks.

Looking great!!!
Like most of us dreaming about doing this, I've put a lot of thought into it as well. I'm sure you could use the oven as a smoker, but I'd be worried about getting it built up with grease and gunk causing off flavors when cooking breads and what not. Having said that, I think the idea of putting a hinged door on the grill like a Texas pit smoker is brillant.
Can't wait to see it cook!

Any thoughts on building up a back splash behind the grill and sink? It would keep stuff from falling behind it, if nothing else. Just a thought....

This build is simply awsome. Between you, Thermal Mass & Carbon, y'all are gonna cost me a $20,000 outdoor kitchen on our pool deck, including of course a wood oven. My wife & I took a trip to the Texas hill country a couple months back and hit a bunch of vineyards. At one (Becker) there was this guy Gino from Philly (swear to God) that had a 42" WO mounted on a double axle trailer turning out some great pies. My wife was really impressed so when I started seeing y'all builds I thought she might like to see them too. Net result, she "wants one of those". I guess life could be worse.
One serious question: I really like the dome form you are using but how are you gonna get it out of the completed dome - burn it out?

Thanks.. Lots of people roast, cook and grill in a WFO, even whole pigs, so im not worried about it. These oven can get over 900F, any oil or over spills easily will burn off. Having said that you dont want to intentionally spill food and oil all over the place, you should have pans under your food, when grilling, you would either use a cast iron pan or a Tuscan style grill, and have coals under the grill, any spill the heat will just burn it up.

I was thinking about it, using my vintage bricks, i may or may not do it. Well see how things come along.

Lol, Then get the wifey a darn pizza oven... Im planning on getting in there and breaking it, cutting and breaking it out. If that doesn't work ill have to burn it.
