Hahaha!!
Now the hard part is slowly doing small fires to dry it out and condition it. Took me more than a week, building multiple fires a day.
Looks great V! :thumb:
Are you planning a final render coat or are you just painting the stucco?
If I recall you have already broke the 600 deg mark for curing, have you done the BSF (big scary fire) yet? You should be ready to start making pies!
Trust me on this, you will become addicted to cooking in it!!
The weather is finally giving us a break here, so once we get back from vacation I will be hard down on my project as well.
BRAVO!!
Looking forward to seeing your "twist"...
I would encourage you to do some more fires before finishing the dome even the BSF.
If you got 750 go for it and get it to temp, it takes a lot more than you would think the first couple times.
You want it completely happy or there may be some movement yet resulting in more cracks...
I made two render coats and hopefully have all the minor cracking out of the way so the last two can go on.
I will be posting soon on both the build threads.
It finally warmed up here but now have only had four days or so in a row without rain.:mmph:
