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?

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!

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.

If you are able to get the form out without a fire, it will give you an opportunity to touch up any interior grout...
**AND**
Keep in mind, your first fires should be VERY small, growing larger over time.
I cured my dome (before insulating it) over the course of a week, after appx. 10 days from the final keystone (we had a nice stretch of warm dry weather).
I know curing is somewhat more forgiving if using thermal blankets for insulation vs pearlite concrete I used.
That was another curing process before the first render was applied..
The cool part is that we did begin using it once the insulation was fairly well cured.
Get your recipes ready!!

Thanks man, since fires are very inconsistent im thinkig of other ways to dry out the oven. So far im planning on using a dehumidifier with a enclosed shell around the oven. Well see

I also plan on only using ceramic fiber blankets, no v-crete

I wouldn't have taken back the curing fires, they were very rewarding.
It was my time to marvel at the handiwork and a perfect excuse to sit back with some fine beverages tending the delicate fires...

Our dome is slowly rising. It was a pain in the rear cutting and trying to taper the bricks, id have to say it was hard than i had thought, figuring out the cut per brick per row was very tedious and aggravating. However we managed to move on.

This morning i woke up and looked out my bedroom window. Excited how the oven is coming along and at the same time disappointed at how messy the backyard is. Ahhh so much work left to do.

Looks great! I'm excited for you and I can't wait to see you fire it up. Keep your chin up, you're closer than you think.

Awesome. I admire your fortitude to get it done. I'm too lazy. When building the house next year in Canyon, I'll be putting in one of these on the back deck.

Here are some pictures of the dome plugged and complete. Over the weekend i plan on breaking the form, getting inside and filling the gaps and cleaning up inside.

That dome is looking good! Interesting that you at one point started to spiral up the courses to the dome top?
