Signs you might be a bit precious about your oven

[tapir]

I know I'm a bit precious about mine; been meticulously keeping the internal vault as clean as possible. Yesterday I was filling some hearth gaps with loose fireclay, when I swept it out the bricks had a few marks on them. Today I'm about there with a scrubbing brush and water cleaning them up and then a hot air gun to ensure that the bricks weren't saturated.

come on, I'm not the only one, am I??

My lightweight oven is quite fragile I think so im always being carefull after firings to ensure there are no cracks etc
