Over in another thread you mention that it would be nice to have the (entire) oven be able to spin. I think that's a great idea since there is entertainment value within the view of the baking pizzas, and you just never know when it would be nice to be able to work off of a different side. There is a company that does this out in Maine. Any ideas on how that would be accomplished? I've noodled it some, but am interested in other points of thought. =]

TMan ,it whistler pizza out of whistler Canada that has a rotating oven it looks like a la penyol with copper dome but it is not. Pizza man mike built this rotating oven you may want to reach out to him for some guidance I do like the idea of being abLe to face the opening of the oven any way that need be with your set. Up but there must be some compromise on insulation ?

you want to the oven to spin on your next install. The table used for shrink wrapping pallets in a warehouse should be strong enough. Build of that for a base. You could even leave the motor on it, one spin of the oven and the pie is done.

Lavash makes a revolving floor oven. I am speaking of the face / opening of the oven facing back like yours, then being able turn to face/ opening over To either side/wheel like the pallet shinned idea jet deck ? And thoughts and how is the diving arm doing?

Yes, I'm familiar with that story and scenario. I would think you'd just incorporate the bottom insulation into the unit so it too turns. I don't usually deal with that kind of weight, combined with transport issues.

First set up of the year ! man I forgo what a scrable it is to remember everything! oh I did fix the tent after the picture and did not get but a few pizza shots a little busy littl ole me and 40 pies in around 2 hours oh my helper did cut finally try to slice one at the end

JConk007 · « **Reply #198 on:** April 21, 2012, 09:19:20 PM »

Here is the few Pies I snapped before starting to crank

JConk007 · « **Reply #199 on:** April 21, 2012, 09:25:56 PM »

I did take a few after I packed up of the full set mobile up Locked and loaded. I have it down pretty good and you can see how the 48" prep table goes right across the pick up the ramps fold up 1 on each side should have logo next week from agency and will place on the trailer at least. may go to van ? but she looks good and rund like a top for 148,000 miles !!
Looking forward to a great year I will post until you tell me to stop maybe just 2-3 of each set up is plenty. I know many have been inspired here and its great !I am glad to and have answered many questions but maybe sharing a bit too much? just dont copy my name please, some one I spoke to, after reading this thread with went with "Playing with fire" here in Jersey! ( 1 hr away!) and I am not to thrilled about that ! Not a copy but little too close for comfort.
