Caribbean Wood Fired Oven

[stonecutter]

I’m all ears for some ideas for a castable mix design.

[stonecutter]

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 that

Nice digs. How about doing a cast oven instead?

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.

Welcome back, Matt. Plenty of rock in your new area?
Dave

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.

Sorry about that. I really shouldn't post after happy hour. But, then it's always 5 o'clock somewhere lol.

No worries at all, just messing with you! Haha!

Welcome back John,

I know that this is going to be a great one to follow. I'm looking forward to your progress

Welcome back. I reference your dry stack base often to builders asking abt dry stack bases.
