How do you control the heat in that thing?

You don't. You heat it up to full blast, around 900F or so (see the infrared thermometer next to the oven), then you scoop out the embers (leave some in while cooking pizza), bake your pizzas (about 2-3 mins for each), then get rid of the rest of the embers. Oven was at about 600F by then, put in meat and veggies and close the door (the half round wood thing behind the oven). Took about 30-40 min for the chicken and veggies, oven was at 350-400 or so by then and I popped in the cornbread. So you basically cook your stuff in order of decreasing temperature requirements.

I'll need to put on another layer of cob one of these days to get better temp retention....
 
I've been busy as a beaver, typing up pile after pile of poems I've had laying around for a while. Once I typed up an MS Word document of approximately 30 pages in length, I stick them on Amazon for sale. So far I have only one up there.
 
just read a short article about organic tea farming in the Uji river valley in Japan..... now I want to move to Japan and become an organic tea farmer......however the chanced of getting my Chinese wife, who grew up in an incredibly large city, who hates the countryside and the woods, to move to the Japanese countryside are slim to none.....

That's really interesting and would take some getting used to. I tend to work in the exact opposite way. I start with the low temp stuff and then cook in order of increasing temperature. The logic is that the stuff that cooks lower temp needs longer to cook, so I kind of ramp up. I think it would take some work to try and flip all that in my brain. :)

Yes, I don't have that much experience yet with the oven and it took me a while to come up with a plan, plus making sure all the other food got done as well. I had the grill and the electric smoker going at the same time
 
Day before a holiday is basically a holiday....and it isn't fair.....government workers are working...... we never work..... why start now....sheesh
 
Oh, that Shaun T is a trickster.

I did Insanity Max 30: Max Strength. For the first 10 minutes, I barely broke a sweat. Then all of a sudden, at 11 minutes he starts doing a series of push-up exercises. I went from 100 to 0 in no time. Ugh. I need to get my stamina back when it comes to push-ups!
 
Got me a decent outline whipped up for that 3-part Wing Chun course. I also have a demo partner. She is not a Wing Chun practitioner, but she DOES engage in WWE-style wrestling!
 
The class is not until October.

I have heard there are other schools/colleges around here who offer similar community education type classes. Once I hammer out a decent-flowing course, I should bring it to the masses elsewhere.
