Re: I've finally started our oven in Costa Rica
I finished work on the landing and opening arch this weekend. I left an inch and a half reveal between the landing tunnel and inner arch. My vent is probably about 2/3rds or 3/4 of the width of the opening, and a half a brick in depth. I haven't acquired the stove pipes yet, so I'm not sure exactly how I'll tie them in. My wife wants stainless steel, but the quote I got from one supplier came to around $500 (10 feet of 8" round stainless to the roof, then 6 feet of galvanized steel above the roofline).
I hadn't really thought through what to do about the counter space to the sides of the oven when I started on the project. The solution was to lay firebrick tiles. I used them to finish the boarder of the oven landing, too. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I may continue the tiles on the corners of the stand if they end up showing through after I finish the insulation work. I think we're going to stucco the face of the stand.
Anyway, all for now!
