Scott: Dan says he sacrificed a blade (or 2) on the sabre saw for the curved cuts, and destroyed a 7 1/4" carbide blade on the circular saw for the straight cuts.

John: yep, I need a photo of it but the house already has another "add-on" in the same style just a 10 feet or so from the oven stand, so it fits right in. Dan said he's actually thinking of running the roof all the way from the oven to the other addition, because our wood box is there, and that will shelter it. And tie it in even more, visually

Goota say...Love your oven!
?...How do you deal with the ash issue? (that being with the oven in the house)?
As in the dust/ash part going hear & dither?

Mike - yeah, that's one of the things we need to improve. I am researching ash vacuums. Right now I'm shoveling it into a metal bucket, but ash does escape and spread... I figured we should buy the hot ash vacuum because it is more versatile, but they are expensive, so I need to really compare before I buy one. We need that, and a rack or floor-holder for peels, and a fireproof rug for in front of the door, sooner than later. Thanks for the kind words and encouragement!

I used my cheap wet dry vac. It worked great.

While the coals/wood ash were still hot?

Thanks, Scott!! I've been comparing ash vacs for the last week, most of them aren't well-reviewed. That one looks better than the others I've looked at, so I'll give it a closer look. Appreciate the link!!

I never enjoy a thread as much as this one. Too bad didn't catch this one from day one. Robyn, you are so passioned about this project. I thought I was the only one like that about using a WFO. But this site showed me wrong. I can tell that we, the people that use WFO are class apart. Enjoy all your ovens!

You'll find more that a handfull of passionate people here who go to great lengths for great pizza (and don't forget the understanding loved ones who put up with our passion). I, for one, had to tear off the front of my garage to get my oven in... http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,13438.0.html

Wow, what an adventure you had Craig. I just tore part of the pedestrian door from the garage to the backyard but then my oven is just 1/4 your oven's weight. But it was worthed every inch of cement. Everybody is happy with the outcome. Yes and the wife too...

RobynB · « **Reply #111 on:** September 06, 2011, 01:01:32 AM »

Regarding the vacuum - for now, I'm just shoveling the cold ash/coals into a bucket. As long as I keep my hand steady and no windows are open when I do it, mess is minimal. I would like to be able to clean it without ANY ash escaping, but it's not bothering me much.

Woodfiredovenpizzero: Thanks for the complements and welcome to the forum! Your enthusiasm is fun - it's nice to have another crazy WFO person here. Your oven is really nice, and your pizza looks great. My husband and I visited PR a few years ago, and loved your beautiful country. Are you in San Juan, or elsewhere? We spent most of our time in Rincon.

Yep, thats Forno Classico's Piccolo. But I don't know about the cats. I'm going to have to go to the streets and find three of them to measure

Robyn: Glad you like my pizza. And about Rincon you pick the right place for vacation. Thats were I go myself. Here's a site you might like: www.arecibooceanfrontparadise.com. Enjoy...

I haven't posted to this in a while - was working on improving the pizzas, then frustrated with camera, now remodeling kitchen to go with oven... But I finally got a nice camera which I am still figuring out, and wanted to show the latest. The oven is finished on the outside too now. Here's some finished photos of it.
