that loks awesome! is that a pt-100 probe sticking out of the top? Yes I have placed thermal probes around the oven although practically it's much easier with an IR thermometer - I bought a RayTemp 3 and it's brilliant - you start measuring everything in sight. The probes are still unwired as a weatherproof meter with multi inputs is not easily found.

Dome is rendered and limewashed with earth pigment - although none of the family like the colour....... Store doors need fixing on.

I have made a 'plug' for the door - This is a chunk of oak with a fireproof back (I used the same stuff as a thermal break in the landing) and a piece of enamelled steel salvaged from an old bbq. After firing up the oven on a Saturday there was still residual heat in the oven 1 week later!!

I like the door, though you might find that over time the screws come loose because of the heat.

if my oven is half as nice looking as yours, i'll be a happy man! It fits into the garden seamlessly.

Yes I agree - the heat will run down the screw into the wood - burn around the threads and the whole lot will come apart. What's the solution? Maybe I should run steel plate over the sides with a couple of flanges and put the fixings in at the side?

Alternatively you could use bolts, you will lose a little heat this way but the fastening will be secure.
