Jealous of your stove. Between your's and Evets' in the pizza thread I am hanging out in Forno Bravo again looking at builds to restart my build. I designed the whole thing, cut all the blocks for the octagonal base, then got distracted with other things (for like 7 years! Lol).

Pizza looks fantastic!

I was going to build one from this company. They basically offer you a styrofoam form that you build around. They mail you the form. Then you build a simple wall base and pour the square that goes on it. After that you throw the form on and away way you go. All the YouTube videos of people building them and angling the bricks without a form seems more difficult. Have tons of testimonials from all kinds of normal looking people including smaller men and women and also videos. Ultimately I think I want a regular fireplace and outdoor kitchen with cinder block design or dry stack blocks from allan block also simple easy designs. I'm afraid that this thing could crack in a snowstorm or something. Maybe somebody here knows better. Sorry I figured i would share the 4 months of research I did.

There are lots of methods to build. The Forno Bravo forum has a ton of detailed build threads. I would advise reading them before you decide to build anything. But basically you need a harbor freight brick saw. Lol

Like this one! Lol

So I blew off doing fancy routed edges on my knife holder and just sanded it rounding the edges. This is it sanded to 220 and cleaned.

Wife made Chicken Tacos last night. I was about to tell her it wasn't Taco Tuesday, but then I realized how stupid that would be and I shut my mouth.

Tonight might be leftover taco tuesday...

Whoa, close call... any time my wife wants to cook its welcome LOL. Don't get me wrong I love cooking but every...single...day....not everyone realizes that sometimes I want to be cooked for.

I was very busy last night welding rockers on the Jeep, helping my nephew with his Exploder, helping Stepmom with her computer issue and mudding/sanding theater wall.

It was a welcome moment to walk in to smell chicken frying in spices.

I guess having my wife cook for me was so unusual I almost forgot myself!

Lol!

I've got one of those. Works well. I love the thing - it'll sharpen everything in the house.

However, if you really really want your knives to shave hair off your arm, it won't get you there. Even the 6000 grit band won't quite get your knives back to factory razor-edge. BTW, that 6000 grit band will wear out pretty quickly - get extras.

I use a water stone that does the trick. King Two Sided Sharpening Stone with Base - #1000 & #6000

I feel like I'm raining on your parade. I'm not. You'll love it, and maybe you'll be completely satisfied. But I needed (wanted) my sharpening system to go to 11, and it took the low-tech stones to get me there.

I made spaghetti squash tonight. Looks like you're doing the same.

Knife board looks great. Very cool.

Haven't busted out the wok in awhile....

Singapore noodles...

I'm shaving hair off my wrist with my pocket knife. Does seem like there should be an intermediate belt before the #6000 though. And the #6000 is only a 1/2" belt. Probably for gut hooks and serrated stuff, but a 3/4" also would have made more sense for knives. Regardless, knives are way sharper than with my magic chef 3 stage machine or whatever that machine is. I have waterstones. Never sharpened my kitchen knives with them though.

I use the Lansky system when I want razor sharpness.

I want a Wok so bad! Those look great.

Thin cut bone in pork chops, corn, and mash (with skins on!) I typically do white gravy being from the south but the brown gravy was a really nice change last night. Did just a simple SPGO on the chops.

I still need to make some paella. Could probably use my wok for it. Tastes good the beer festivals. Of course, it could be the beer is making it taste better...

I bought one on Amazon for under $20, delivered. It's 14" and it's BIG. Love it.

The wok was bought in mainland China in the early 1970s. It's very authentic....
