First bake arc XL

[thezaman]

   I have been looking at getting a dome oven but didn't want spend the money. This was more in my price range. I made a 6 hour dough so I could test the oven. It seems like it will be a nice oven once you get used to it. I only had time for one pizza and it was a very fresh dough. A more mature dough would be a much better test. This was not a good high temperature dough as it browned way too fast. Overall the oven works very well. I hope they make a Neapolitan arc for this oven the front opening is large and hurts the bake a little. The front part doesn't cook as well as ovens with smaller openings.
  I'll try later in the week with 48 hour dough. I included a couple of pictures and recipe.

Any further bakes on the Arc ?

They don't currently plan an NGAS version, would an enterprises old guy have access to the burner parts to convert to NGAS? I've done several over the years so figured I'd take a look at this one.

Thanks

I also asked them about natural gas conversion.

Is it just a different regulator, or are there other considerations for converting?

Lots of conversions don't use regulators, which I hate. You have to increase the size of the burner orifice and probably let more air in for combustion. New gas hose needed as well.

I got my Arc XL last week and made some pies yesterday.  Once you get the stone nice and hot I think it works well.  I may get one of those aftermarket doors for it since when it's windy it's harder to dial in the temp. I like the large opening for moving the pizza around.
