139 - It's hard to believe how symmetrical the dome turned out.
I certainly owe that to the Indispensable Tool & those before me in this forum who passed on so many helpful tips.

141 - Ceramic fiber blanket wrapping begins.
I used the BL12T25A ceramic fiber blanket from skylinecomponents.com

I spent a lot of time researching and found the refractory properties an excellent match to the FB Blanket.
I advocate support Forno Bravo as much as possible, but living on the east coast, shipping from FB was very pricey.
