Spareribs in my new wood oven

[roadfix]

Last week I threw in a large 6.5lb slab of spareribs into my new wood oven (not completely finished yet) using its residual heat from the curing fire the night before. I left it in there for almost 3 hours, uncovered. The ribs came out moist and tender.

Looks delish!

Did you build the oven yourself? It's wonderful and I'm jealous...Enjoy it.

Looks really good, roadfix.

Thanks, I was pleasantly surprised at how well the ribs turned out. The oven itself is a lot of fun and I love cooking in it. It can pretty much do what my grills and smokers can do, plus more. Fire management is a bit difficult but I'll get the hang of it.

Thanks, yes I built it from the ground up and located it right outside my kitchen for easy access. It still needs a bit more shaping and then finish stucco work. It also needs several more firing/curing sessions before I can really crank up the temperature for pizza.
The oven started out with a simple concrete stand/hearth 3 months ago to the first small firing in the dome to the almost finished exterior work.

Maybe you could fire some pottery between meals.

If this was 1974, yes. It'll take me back to the days when I took pottery and clay sculpting at the community college. Those were fun days....

Wow, those ribs look outrageously good!
I'm also very impressed with the oven.
Calories out, for many good calories in to come, roadfix.
