Re: My attempt at WFO in CT
Even though I though I was curing the oven slowly, I guess it wasn't slow enough and I generated a fairly large crack. Dammit.Leave a comment:

Re: My attempt at WFO in CT
Sounds like your insulation plan is great!
I wouldn't worry too much about the touch up work unless you want to do it for aesthetics. Once you insulate, you'll be in good shape.Leave a comment:

Re: My attempt at WFO in CT
He He He Fire !!! Gotta have plenty of wood when you're running a firepit, wood oven and a meatsmoker. Ok yes, I am insane. My wife tells me this regularly.
SHould I be concerned about filling in the voids 'grouting' the gaps on the inside of the dome. In my limited experience some areas come out messy (mostly near the top) and some spots between the bricks inverted v's could use some more heat stop. Or am I just being anal?Leave a comment:

Re: My attempt at WFO in CT
The hearth and floor are already complete. I followed the FB instructions and did a 3.5" remesh structural with a 4" vermiculite/portland insluting layer. Hopefully it is enough.Originally posted by Lburou View PostThat is a good start on a BIG project

What insulation are you planning for the floor of the oven?
I bought two rolls (50SF each) of 1" thick fiber blanket for the outside. I was going to coat over that with a 2" layer of vermicrete. Do you think this is enough? Also wont the weight of the vermicrete compress the insulation thereby rendering it less effective?Originally posted by Ken524 View PostHi JA,

Keep posting the pics and good luck with your project. We are here to help.
Don't skimp on the insulationLeave a comment:
