Oh forgot. The style is a dome, which as far as I know is typical Italian. The design was inspired by "Your Brick Oven, Building it and Baking in it" By Russel Jeavon. He also runs a pizza restaurant called Russell's Pizza in McLaren Vale. I highly recommend it if your in town but be sure to book. It's only open Friday and Saturday and very popular.

Roger,

Normally I try to use it once a week. I've been on holiday (over your way in the Grampians actually) so not sa much recently. I've got 6 days off from monday so I plan to bake a big batch of bread and do some other stuff. I'm also going to put down an ale brew (I'm a whole grain brewer as well). I love yeast, there's no rushing it. Plenty of time for relaxing!

Roger,

The oven is finished now. Have a look.

Cheers
Scott

Roger,
Finally got around to uploading some photos of my old oven. I've pored the slab and laid abou 100 bricks for the new one. More to follow.

Roger,

It's finished, actually about 2 years old. It's a 900mm dome party oven. It's a little bit small and has no work spaces around it which is a pain. I want to build a 1200 with decent thermal mass and a chimney and some benches, hence I joined this forum.
