So I have been thinking a lot how to incorporate an oven into my upcoming build. A DSR2 has a good natural oven, but it's not very wide, only 11" for an 8" build, which is good enough for a lasagna maybe, not so much for pizza or big cooking sheets.
Joseph Crowley mentioned that he had build a wider top section in his, but he mentioned that it has some problems, which I'm investigating. To be continued.

But I was thinking, I have a big box made of 3/16" stainless steel that I could easily adapt to be an airtight oven, that could perhaps be installed in the upper part of the bell to harvest heat from the hot gasses pooled up there during operation. Temperature could maybe be controlled with vents in the door, or just timing with phases of the burn.
Then I could go back to the original batch box rocket design with the heat riser, which appears to me to be even more refined and efficient than the DSR2 version.
Just had another idea, 8" brick risers always seemed unstable to me because of the size of the bricks, combining the original batch box with the DSR2 idea, maybe building a larger more structurally stable riser, lined with ceramic fiber board in a spot where it's likely to work best, where it cannot be abraded by wood and ash. So, building effectively a 10" riser and line it with 1" CFB. Maybe that's a bad idea, because how would you attach it to keep it from warping inward. Or maybe using cardboard tubes to cast a riser in place. Because there will be no barrel to worry about, the riser can be much larger and bulkier.
If anybody has any experience or theory to offer, I'm very interested.
