G'day
It' seems forever since we have had a dry day to flash up the wood fired oven.
Damp wood damp oven I wasn't to be deterred. 4 hours of burning hot the oven into dry enough conditions to produce a pizza .
Pizza was good but the ovens still damp as the soot stains down low on the brickwork indicate.
Usually this is a great time of year to use the oven but these constant showers have put payed to that. I would usually close of the oven with its insulated door and use the residual heat to cook tomorrow's meal, but I'll leave it open in an attempt to dry it further
Regards Dave

More wet on the way for us mate,
Speaking of damp, Its ruined so much stuff of mine, Both BBQ and other items like leather goods and clothes. A never ending battle. The up shot is its 18.4 C right now.
Great shot inside that Pizza Oven, Watch you dont shock it too much.

G'day smokie
Your not wrong about the damps effects.
My poor old weber q had its major clean at 9 kg bottle swap. A full degrease and pressure spay. I discovered a lot of corrosion on one side of the base. I'm not complaining about weber. This thing has a lot of use is 4 1/2 years old, and sat on back verandah all that time. And I'm less than a K of the bay.
I'm not sure what to do about it yet. These things are powder coated and are hard to repaint. I've sprayed it with cooking oil and I'll have a further think.
The moldy leather is treatable. Wipe inside and out with detol. It kills the spores so it doesn't spread. Smells bad but better than the moldy smell.
Regards dave

Cheers for the tip, Ill try anything. July 4th cook I had in mind to use the WSM but one look at what is left of the grills turned me off that project. They are gone.
My pellet grill is suffering to, I really need to get onto that and acid treat it ready for a respray.
But that is steel, My already once replaced weber summit top is peeling paint from its aluminum parts again.
I suppose I could ring them and push the warranty thing again but I know any replacement will only last a few years.
I built a pool deck using Gal steel purlins only a few years ago. Today I was ripping it all out due to total structural rust failure.
Ill take some pics to show just how crazy it is

Water - it really is the universal solvent, add some salt and you have grief in waiting.
I don't live particularly close to the sea at all, and kinda prefer it that way but still have corrosion to contend with.
Cheers

I live within 200Mtrs of a salt water lake system that feeds Summer salt laden NE winds over us, cools down things nicely but helps things to rust. Rust is not the only problem, cement tiles have a limited life span before they start to deteriorate and leak, salt doesn't help things either, just replaced our tiles with Colorbond steel roofing at a cost of $12,000.00.
