Re: The Backofen

What did you decide on the interior height?

Re: The Backofen

Hi Les.. I do have space for insulation.. I have the FB Board underneath, and I have a 50 ft roll of ceramic blanket.Is that what you are talking about? Still not sure if I am going to enclose the dome or not.

Re: The Backofen

You have space for insulation, right? What do you have in mind for a covering?

Ok ..So I will start a thread for my new oven.. I was posting in getting started
forum.. don't think that was the right place.

So ..I don't have a lot of room to play with in the back yard and I wanted the oven to be smaller, so I read over the plans and sorta customized the plans for what I have room for.

I went to Denver today and picked up the Fire bricks and Heatstop 50 at Threewit Cooper Supply. The Bricks were $1.82 a piece.

I laid the FB board down on my hearth and started to lay the bricks out in the herringbone pattern.. I have to say that it was a sense of small accomplishment that I am this far!

I measured in from the edge of the brick 4.5 " to leave room for the brick and
ended up with a 28" circumference usable floor.
Next up is the Sailor course to start the dome..!
I know it is small ,but that is what I have room for.


Any suggestions?

Thanks,
