Might be getting a new oven

[Richard Chrz]

I’ve been back and forth on this in my head for a few years now, but I think this may end up in my kitchen this year…

I really do not have the business to support this as a completely reasonable purchase, but… time not spent in front of a home oven grinding out 2 loaves at a time, does seem like something I would like to do less of. Next I’ll need a bigger dough fridge… I need to find an off ramp or an intervention 😂

Very nice! Looks like 12 per bake? I didn’t read the specs, just looked at the pictures. I did notice they are about 20-30 minutes from me. If they have a showroom, want me to check it out Richard Chrz

[Richard Chrz]

Thank you for the offer, I may take you up on it. I’m chatting with a few people who own one right now, but may ask for some photos at some point,

[Duanessmokedmeats]

What a generous offer.

And factor in the cost of having a new 240v circuit installed to run the oven. That’s what I would check out first to ensure that your electrical panel can support another 240v circuit and how much it’s going to cost.

[Richard Chrz]

Way ahead on that one. I had an electrician install a bunch of new outlets last year, for more refrigeration and freezers, with our panel, he said should not be a problem.

That's a whole lot a bread!

HawkerXP I see what you did there lol.

Go for it! It’s a tool. Good tools are nice to have. I learned a long time ago that I should use the best tools I could afford. They make the job easier and could improve the outcome.

^^ This.^^

I’m all about this. Not only with my bbq hobby. It’s especially true with my woodworking hobby. Having the best tools is paramount.

[Richard Chrz]

Truly I have always preferred to own less, and have better. I try to contain myself, but this one seems to be a real possibility, I need to figure out a few more things, which may take me a month or a few before I would feel truly ready, but it feels good for the first time.

It would mean I have to put my LSG mini cabinet smoker on hold for 2 years. But I would use this far more.

[DavidNorcross]

This is MCS at its finest. Looking forward to this one.

I believe you can claim that as a hobby expense if its not gonna be profitable anytime soon

[Richard Chrz]

I would be curious if I can find the cost per hour on running that oven, vs the amount of hours I run mine for the same amount of dough. 12 loaves in 1 hour, plus 90 minute warm up. 12 loaves 2 at a time @ 50 minutes per 2. With a bit of recovery time, so 6 hours, roughly,

My wife bakes a fair amount of bread and I showed it to here and it was a lot of; "wow, nice, wow, that would be so cool."

[Richard Chrz]

It sure seems like an incredible tool.

[Skip]

I vote "YES". Be sure to post pictures once it's installed!

How did I know you would be coming along with an idea to get people to spend more money? FYI... The pizza oven showed up on my porch yesterday. Hoping for an unboxing and test run this weekend. Thanks for that.

[WI Bubba]

As you well know we here in the Pit are dedicated to helping others make prudent and financially responsible decisions. So my advice would be to buy two of them.

That’s pretty cool, Richard! Time is money…not that you are in it for that, but…time is money and if that helps you in your process, why not!
