How to spend a rainy day with a WFO

I had a good day cooking. Today was rainy so I couldn't do other yard work. I just spent the day getting to know my oven. 
I started with some sourdough bread. These are not the finest loaves I've ever cooked, but they were my first from the oven. The oven spring was impressive. 

I decided on spatchcock chicken for dinner. I wanted to do some live fire roasting. 

Thyme, oregano, and rosemary from the yard. 

Herbs, S&P, and EVOO on the bird. Stupid simple. 

New potatoes, S&P, olive oil, and oregano. 

Potatoes into the oven. 

All the goodies into the oven. Corn is wrapped in foil. 

This is one of the better chickens I've ever eaten. 

The sides.

Plated. I need a diamond plate...

A crisp with some home grown blackberries a coworker gave me. 

Finished. 

Thanks for looking y'all. Life is good my friends.

    There's a place throughout Fl and up the East Coast called Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza.  They have many dishes just about all done in their coal ovens and everything is great!  Their wings are some of the best!   
    I can't wait to see what you do next.

    @Dredger @pgprescott I won't lie; I really enjoyed playing with that thing. @thetrim There is a learning curve for sure but it's not as bad as I feared. It is easy to get the oven too hot but I think that's just me wanting to see fire :)

    Great cooks right there.  Nailed it.  BTW-magazine quality pics as well.  As mentioned above, you quickly climbed the learning curve.

    @thetrim There is a restaurant in Oakland called Camino that cooks everything on a big hearth or in a wood oven. http://caminorestaurant.com/
    I had the chance to eat there and the food as well as the experience was spectacular. Cooking food beyond pizzas is definitely how I intend to use the oven.

    Very cool! I think most people think it's only used for pizza/hoagies. It will be fun seeing your cooks with this thing!

    Then the one near me needs major help. I have been a few times, and while it was ok, it is nowhere near as good as you described. 


    This WFO look incredible!  I have watched the build on Instagram.

    Where are you?   I've been to several and feel like they have very consistent results.   I like the pizza, wings, and meatballs.
