First pizzas in new pizza oven!!!! (With pRon)
Hi everybody, and a Merry Christmas Eve to you all! When I last posted, I had just completed the dome of my new cob-style pizza oven:
http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/sh...d.php?t=148689 I've been letting it dry out and have been building fires in it every day for almost a week now. There have been some cracks (which were expected), but it's holding up pretty well. Anyhow, yesterday I got the temps up to almost 800 degrees, so I decided I would push it again today. Of course, I couldn't resist...so I had to try making a few pies while I had it fired up. I knew I would! Burn baby, burn! Swept out and ready for pizza! First pie just in: After about 20-30 seconds: Done! This was an Italian sausage pie, my favorite: Here's the second one...white pizza with olive oil, minced garlic cloves and mozzarella: Here's the bottom of the white pizza: Well, I'll call it a success! Both pies were delicious...although I need to work on my skills working at temperatures that high...I got over 1100 degrees at one point. I had to let it cool before I even started putting pizzas in. Not a bad Christmas Eve...I hope you all have a great Christmas. Thanks for looking!

Wow, looks awesome. In the first pic, is that a crack in the outside of the dome?

Yeah...there's a crack in the very front of the dome behind the brick arch. It goes almost halfway back across the oven. I had a seam there when I put the clay in that I didn't see, so when the dome shrunk (shrank?), that was the weak spot. Thankfully it's set now and not getting bigger. I'll be able to patch it, along with the other cracks I have, then go over it all with insulation and finishing plaster.

Awesome pies! And great job on the oven.
When I first stacked mine up, I thought you were supposed to cook at 1000F. Making pies used to be mad dash coz they would burn after a minute! Until I did some research and found out that things would be more manageable at a little lower temp. Can't wait to see your finished oven. Would you care to share your dough recipe?

cool looking oven you got there. I am planning to build an outdoor kitchen and next year and may have to incorporate one of those in the build.
Very nice looking pies you got there.
