Ashes and embers from a fire are visible through an open oven door. I make fire with 100% wood only.

This morning, the unheated part of the boat was 6°C (43°F).

The solid fuel burner (wood stove) was still hot to the touch, and had kept the rest of the boat at 13°C (55°F), which is more than warm enough for sleep.

The "Great Texas Chainsaw Uruguyan Parrilla Experiment" was a success. The Santa Maria attachment from @ashandemberoutdoors made managing a pure hardwood fire in the Weber kettle a breeze. Meats cooked over a hardwood fire tastes so much better than propane or charcoal.

First fire after some months. I fired up my self-built oven up about 200 times. Just opened the door briefly. Hot as hell.
Now its time to plaster the oven in the next weeks and embed the iron frame. That won't be easy. Don't rush into anything, do your research thoroughly.

Made six loaves of Hamelman’s Rustic Bread in the wood fired oven this morning from his book Bread. Yeasted overnight starter and yeasted dough that I let rise in a refrigerator overnight. #bread #food #cooking #woodfire
Yesterday we fired Judy, my soda kiln. Our first time after the rebuild.

Last summer I began rebuilding the firebox, tearing it right down to the foundation and building it back up with a recessed ash pit, larger cross section, reinforced throat arch, more grate bars and more space about the stoke hole.

I learned there's still a bit more work to do. I want to pour a couple castable sections to really frame around the stoke hole, some of the bricks are loose and it was troublesome when one of them got knocked loose at 1200C and flames were shooting out a couple feet.

Also, I believe when I pulled a lot of the metal work off I opened up space where flames are sneaking out when we shut down. We plugged them with fibre but I think a more permanent solution will be required.

Thanks to Megan Tarris, Neidin Prout, Mona Ali, Clive Tucker and Tammi Vilchis for all the help.
