What did you do today

[nsfr1206]

Nice! I went the easy route and got a gas fired prebuilt little oven, an Ooni Koda. I know it’s not traditional but it sure is easy to make some good pizza with it. Our favorite is probably pesto, mozzarella and tomato.

After nearly thinking I was a goner last night I spent the morning in the urgent care. Wife and daughter have the co-vid. Thus far I have tested negative but with similar symptoms. We'll see what the results of today's test say. I got a chest x-ray and discovered I have pneumonia. That explains a lot. My blood oxygen was down to 87 this morning. I got Azithromycin, Prednisone, Amoxicillin, and an Albuterol nebulizer. Three neb treatments already today and I can tell the difference. Still difficult breathing and I get winded getting out of the chair, but things are looking up. I'm not afraid to die as Jesus and I are on very good terms but I sure would like to stick around at least long enough to make sure my daughter marries well.

Best of luck Rob! Hope all three of you make it back to good health!

Being Texan, my short, short, short list for Santa Claus this year is one item. A Kettle Pizza. Basically a spacer, and stone that more or less turns the classic Weber Kettle into a Pizza Grill / oven. They offer a model that allows it to be multifunction, Pizza oven, and rotisserie. Not sure about what BBQ rigs are available down south as it were, but if you have anything like the Weber, and like to cook on charcoal, this is an awesome add on...

I reckon the missus would go spare if I bought anymore out door cooking gear.

Oz has just about every type of BBQ available.
You can get all the Webber gear, and people are really getting into the off-set smokers these days. Just as the price of beef is going into orbit!
I personally wouldn't buy a Pizza Oven insert for a Webber. Not saying they are no good, its just that I have a brick oven that only takes an hour and a half or so to get to Neapolitan temperatures. ~800 F.
I built it with thinner than normal bricks - the reduced thermal mass means it is not much good for retained heat slow cooking, but its brilliant for after work midweek pizza.

These days, probably due to spending too much time with South Africans, I'm much into cooking over ordinary every day wood fires.
The boys had a fire pit a bit like mine last weekend, but I noted it had fittings to support a spit. Gotta look into that.

800 deg F?! That is metal melting territory!

I'm not a pizza specialist. I work mostly with Barbecue and Tex-Mex so there is that... I can tell you how to properly smoke a brisket, or ribs. Or maybe make fresh from scratch beef, chicken, or pork fajitas...

Still working on barbacoa de cabeza, I haven't managed the coal pit technique, and unfortunately my father in law passed before he was able to share the tips and tricks...

Mick, those are gorgeous!

Some of us wack things together and occasionally hit a home run. You mate are a Craftsman!

With temps below freezing I won't be getting to building for a while but might give it a go in the spring.

Rob, get well quick! The fat lady isn't even warming up yet...

Met a bloke who has one of those. He absolutely swears by it. And, unlike my piles of bricks, they are portable. He's a pizza fanatic - any 23 year old who buys a $1000 oven (that's about what his Koda 16 costs here) so that he can cook authentic Margheritas while out camping is serious about the art form.

Hang in there brother. Sending positive vibes your way.

Certainly could melt lead and zinc at that temperature, but that's where you have to be if you want to cook a 90 second Neapolitan style pizza.
I tone it down a little bit these days. I sit closer to 700F than 800, because most people I know don't get the "less is more" aspect of Neapolitan pizza. They want more toppings, and at 800F the crust burns before the toppings are cooked.

I aspire to building a Uruguayan Parrilla, or an Argentine Asado one day.

Mine is the 12 I believe. It is easy to use with the gas...

Not sure how I missed your post. Sorry to hear about the pnuemonia. Been there, done that, did NOT like it...

If you are waiting for a child to marry well, you may end up waiting like Simeon...

Get well, and spend what time you can with your family passing down your values and all will be well...

Sourced up fasterners to complete the build. Finished building and installing a roller camera cradle for my camera slider build. On to adding the motor and stepper controller. Trying for variable speeds. I am finding a 1/8" deflection in the middle of my rails, not super happy about that. Planning on trying to pull them straight.

Completely forgot to grab the 1" EMT section to add a push up pole for my replacement TV antenna. Hurricane Nicholas took out my old one... They didn't standardize the sizes of these stupid poles. I need to fab some bushing s to fit a 1" into the old DirectTV dish mount...

Anyone heard from Rob? (rjgimp)

He doesn't appear to have posted since he announced he was crook, and the rest of the family had the 'rona.
