I will post my results. I plan on trying with no mods. Only one I may do is the bearing mod, maybe. That might not be needed. Some people may have been mounting the motor wrong.

The FB "ready builts" are nice. And they are proud of them $$. I guess they are worth it for someone who has more money than time. But, The most fun that I have ever had (with my pants on ) was building a pompeii oven from scratch. A simple pompeii oven can be built from locally sourced materials. If someone plans it right, and keeps their eyes open for old brick, blocks, fire brick etc. on CL or the local paper: one could be made for cheap. Not counting labor, which will be intensive, but one hll of a lot of fun!

Not really looking for an 'all around' cooker. I mean, I am in a sense, but my big push is for high heat baking/pizza making. I've got the W.S.M. and the Kettle as it stands right now, and a cheap offset as well. The Keg is pretty much a done deal at this point, but still interested in how this sucker works out for you.

I was interested in it, rotating stone is cool, hope there is a way to turn it off thou, getting a pizza off a peel quickly onto a spinning surface might be tricky!
On the weekends I cook in a Le Panyol commercial brick wood fired oven, I LOVE IT! Definitely interested in a forno bravo when there's room for one at the house

Yes, I did use an I.T. for the fire brick portion of the dome. The brick on the exterior of the dome that you see are actually brick floor splits which were later grouted. They are adhered to a stucco layer with thinset. The stucco layer is separated from the fire brick by about 8" of insulation (4" ceramic fiber blanket and about 4" of vermicrete). I used a swinging plywood form to true up the vermicrete layer to make the exterior a perfect sphere. ___The Mississippi Queen___ My Picasa Web Album My oven is a little on the extreme side. There are plenty of great looking and excellent working wood fired pizza/bread ovens that have been built by folks without any prior experience. My sincere apologies to jsperk for the hijack. I started researching wood fired ovens after Hurricane Katrina. We spent about 2 and a half weeks eating 3 meals a day cooked by charcoal. I was looking for any alternative to charcoal that did not require, electricity or gas. Between FornoBravo and The BBQ Brethren, the next one should be a lot more palatable . |
