Greetings from Napa!  Just finished building my pizza oven stand.  Looking forward to learning more from all the Fresh Loaf posters

Thanks bikeprof. building the stand was a fun project too. the fire extinguisher is an antique that i put a faucet in and use it for the outdoor sink.  that old extinguisher took a lot of heat last october '17.  wildfire burned over our house, but we stayed and fought it!

Yes, welcome to TFL and good luck with the pizza making! Everyone has their own favourite pizza dough, so keep experimenting till you get it how you like it.

PS: At first look, I thought that was a ginormous boule you had in your hands!

Welcome and happy baking in that fine oven!  Bread and wine...all you need is a few goats for cheese :-)

Is that the Passione? I have my eye on the same oven. Great setting!

Yes its a wood or gas passione.  wanted a larger oven with the option of gas or wood. with the gas it would be faster to fire up and get cooking when last minute friends drop by. when using gas ive added a handful of wood chips to help give that smokie flavor, still experimenting with that.

Oh this type of setup is just my dream to have one day, it is just absolutely fantastic (The view is also quite something). Thank you for sharing, it gives me somethign to aspire to.

BTW I am glad the wild fire did not burned you house down. Please keep safe always, these natural disasters are no joke.
