Hey FB community, it’s been a while! I started this thread to document an upcoming build at our house in the Caribbean. We moved to Roatan after a year and a half in Belize but we are planning to stay here as long as we can. We bought a home last December and we live here full time and I really miss using a wood oven. I’ll be updating the thread as things happen, which will be slow as usual..this time due to the fact I have to ship everything here and we are in the middle of a major remodel. Once I get some pics I’ll post up.

Oh yeah tons. I’ve got the base all done and it’s all concrete. I just had the builder do it because it’s part for an outdoor kitchen. I’ll probably just use stone on the entry and I have an idea how to incorporate it in the dome. I’m planning to build a flue like a Neapolitan oven.Old World Stone & Garden

Well, oven building is a bust. The guy that was helping me get material to the island died tragically and suddenly. I feel bad for his family. Right now I’ve been looking into shipping different ovens here but so far it’s cost prohibitive. I may have to shelf the wfo idea until we return to the states some day.Old World Stone & Garden

Nice digs. How about doing a cast oven instead?Comment

I would but there’s no fireclay here and no firebrick around to use for the floor. I suppose I could import some splits for the floor and do a Portland/sand/perlite castable....but I’m not a big fan of thatOld World Stone & Garden
