The hopefully not obnoxious wood fired brick oven build thread

[Melana]

Hey Evets,
Do you ever use coal in your oven? Advantages? Disadvantages? TIA

I have real coal I could let you use....

So does Paul, unless he took his stocking down.

 

[paulthenurse]

I SO need new friends.

What do you use the coal for, Melana?

Hey Evets,

I've used lump charcoal a few times when using the oven as a smoker but never anthracite. Thought about it but I think there's a lot of nasty crap in coal smoke that I'd rather not eat. I know lots of places use old coal ovens but I think the cooking chamber is separate from the firebox. I could be wrong about that though, never having actually seen one in person.

 

[HoppyDaze]

anthracite is a rad word

I don't. It was here when I bought the house...

I dig it too! I mean, not that I'm a miner or anything............
I used to have a porcelain sign on my shed just like this one.

Hi kids, remember me?

So the oven sat for a bit while I got my Masters degree and became a nurse practitioner. But that's over with finally (can I get an Amen?) and so I once again have some time and spare money.

The slate roof has been mostly done for a while, I need to make a copper ridge cap still.

Today I finished installing the metal lathe and put the first scratch coat of stucco on one wall. Not bad, considering it was done by a nurse.

You can now resume your previous jealousy of my awesomeness.

Tommish.

 

[paulthenurse]

Can we just go back to you farktards wishing you were as cool as ME? I'm nowhere near as cool as the GOAT. I'm ok with that.

OTOH, the GOAT didn't build this cool ass bit of coolness with this own hands.

Sheet, I'm cooler than Tom!

 

[Stealthcruiser]

That's awesome!

I've never seen a slate roof and stucco on a trash incinerator before!

Must be a "Mass." thing......

 

[paulthenurse]

You funny.

Fancy. Is the pizza still gritty?

Edit: Make that roughage.

Like Chickens use in their Gizzards....

Hey now be nice, the part that's still standing looks great..

 

[paulthenurse]

I've got your gizzard right here.

Ya. What he said.

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

I thought this thread died of listeria?

 

[paulthenurse]

The curative properties of the pizza coming out of that uber cool oven could bring Lazarus back to life.

 

[Stealthcruiser]

I've got your gizzard right here.

Show it to me.

 

[paulthenurse]

You seem a little too anxious for that. I'll pass.

Now that the weather is getting ready to turn.... ya thinking maybe NEXT year it’ll get finished?

3 years. For a food burner.

If he had invested the material costs in an index fund, he'd be able to afford to buy a pizza restaurant by now.

Is there a market for burnt pizza?

Not yet.

 

[paulthenurse]

Gimme a friggin break. I’ve been a little busy over the past four years.

I’m plodding towards completion, in the meantime we use it a good bit. Only you ******* have anything bad to say. You and me. I always say it looks like it was built by a nurse.
