Today we revved the baby up for the first baking. It was a windy day so the smoke went everywhere. We had a fire going for two hours and a little oven temperature gauge kept us informed of oven temperature. We got up to 175 degrees Celsius (approx 350 degrees Fahrenheit) before we started to cook.
The outside of the oven got very warm so I figure we need extra insulation. The outer layer of render cracked during cooking as it had not cured fully - oh well. We'll just add more insulation to the oven.
We cooked pide, calzone and pizzas. Lots of toppings. It was chaos for a while until we started to get the feel of things. Getting used to the pizza peel was a bit of a challenge. I accidently flipped the pides and one of the pizzas but we salvaged them.
Lots of learning - we are going to fuel it up again today.
