Hello and Happy Holidays![p]You Egg-heads are truly the best. Two questions:[p]1. I'm planning an outdoor kitchen, Extra-large egg, L shaped w/ three foot deep counters. Egg diameter 35", is there enough room at the corner (crotch) of L shape to fit the egg? If not, can I just leave one of the counter ends open (Instead of the standard counter height, build a 1 - 2 foot height setting area)and just set the egg in there? My mason will be using block followed by brick and I'm trying to give him some plans/dimensions to work with. Feel free to send pics if you've done something similar.[p]2. Thinking about following this project w/ brick oven for pizza and rustic breads. Do the eggs do a good enough job that a brick oven would be overkill?

That is really nice!!!
hey look at these breads i've done on the egg...
why waste the warmth after cooking a meat? throw on a bread dough while the meat is resting and there you have it... fresh warm too-soft-to-cut bread to soak up the juices![p]or maybe a heavier beer bread

check out our website www.backyardbbqstore.com under outdoor kitchens section and you will see some photos of built-in eggs
I've done one high-temp (~850 degrees) pizza cook on the egg and it was a bit of a mixed bag. Great pizza, but I didn't have my setup sufficiently refined and over-cooked the crust a bit at 2-1/2 minutes. I'm sure with a bit more practice, it'll be even better.
