Great thread. Can't wait to see the finished product.
Why no smoker? Did you consider it and opt to go in a different direction? Is that another project for another time? Inquiring minds (mine) wanna know?

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!!!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.
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....

BTW, my oven just produced white smoke:

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?
