First of all it is NOT CAST IRON as described, but actually low grade bent steel. Of course I knew this when I ordered it because it won’t be so inexpensive nor only 50 pounds for the whole thing. Still that is false advertising. The other hardware was equally cheap Phillips screws, no washers, metal to metal application. Some of the hardware was the wrong length or Ill fitting. 

The only reason I am keeping this pizza oven, is to see if I like using a wood burning oven before investing in one that will last for more than one season, as this one is likely to do. If you are looking to try out this type of cooking without breaking the bank, this will do fine for that experiment. If you are thinking this is actually cast iron and will last, this isn’t the pizza oven for you.
