    It's going to absolutely change your life and your cooking.  I fire mine every single chance I get, winter or summer.  Enjoy!

    Awesome project. So want one. Of course I'm not as handy as you are, I'll have to hire someone.

    SO are you as of yet able to answer the age old question, "Hoe many Aggies DOES it take to put together a wood fired oven?"

    Very nice. Is that a Forno Bravo kit?

    I'm very excited. Glad to know you have a wood oven; I may need advice.

    Only one - and a bunch of folks smarter than me giving me advice on how to do things. With a project like this I'm CONSTANTLY doing something for the first time - that needs to be right. I've been a bit tense a few times. And the Forno Bravo instructions stink...

    @CTMike Yes, it's a Forno Bravo Casa2G 90 kit. I actually bought it from Texas Oven Company in Austin. They have been very helpful in offering tips and advice for installation. If anyone near Austin is looking for a wood oven kit or custom installation give these folks a call.

    Nice, I have been looking at buying the same kit. I'm in the process of building an outdoor kitchen and I am considering installing a WFO. Please continue to post pics as you complete your build.

    @CTMike particularly if you get the same kit we need to talk on the phone. There are a few things I learned that are not mentioned anywhere that will make your life much easier.

    Very cool project.  I am always so impressed with some of the things that so many people here take on that I don't think I could even handle the first step on.

    Awesome looking project. I thought I was doing well having bought two eggs in six months. You have me beat by a country mile.

    I can't afford to have something like tis done and I don't have the skills myself. So I live virtually by looking at other people's projects.

    I love that star hot pad thing!  Between that and that wood table!  Nice.

    Oh, and the pizza oven is insane.
