I obviously really don't know enough to say anything.

So this is your oven in the walker? I understand you have the rounded shape because you used a beer barrel, but do you think the rounded top will cook things better?

We haven't built a  walker yet, but are planning to build the continental. I really don't want to have all of the food cooked in the oven having a smoked taste, so I always planned to pull the oven out of an old wood cooker. But it might turn out to be too rusty. So, if this is your oven, you're very inspiring. How is it for baking and roasting?

If you used paint, it might burn off. Try stove black.

Really nice, Tony!

Hi Benjamin,

The flour in flour paint isn't like fine sand,  the gluten in the flour is the glue that holds the pigmentation.

Once we're using the stove this winter, I'll paint a small spot of the bench to see what happens. Thanks for the suggestion. And I'll come back here with the results

Good day to everyone

Hi Benjamin and thanks for replying and asking. Flour paint is a natural, traditional Swedish painting method. It's mixed flour, water, pigmentation and linseed oil. I really like the feel it, so I thought it would be nice for the final coating of the rocket mass heater bench.

On this thread, people have said linseed oil. And I can't imagine there being a problem with pigmentation. But the floor? Will it eventually burn and will our bench be like burnt bread? Or will it be okay?

Does anyone know if it would be possible to paint it with flour paint?

Thank you, Talon.

Our house is a very long project, so we don't have outdoor shutters either anymore or yet. So my husband attached bamboo above the windows that get sun, on the outside, of course, and hung white sheets from them. So no cost at all, since the sheets are old and are used for protection during deliveries. And bamboo is free for us.

I just took a photo of two, but it's too early for the sun to be hitting them.

Please let us all updated on the results of that.

Hi Tony and thanks for your reply. You provided exactly what I wanted to know. So a piece of metal in front of the firebix will be enough. Good.

Have a lovely day and thanks again
