    Re: Another Aussie Oven

    It has been over 6 weeks since I last played with my WFO and it feels good to be back at it and playing with power tools again.

    I was waiting for a new blade for my brick saw but that turned up yesterday and when I got home from work I got stuck into cutting the bricks for the outer arch and the flue transition. I have also completed the timber form work for the arch so hopefully I can begin curing fires in a week.

    Hi Grant

    They are High temperature Insulation Bricks.

    They do have similar characteristics as a hebel blocks but are made specifically for insulative purposes

    They do the same job as vermiculite only better!!!

    To a true pyro that fire extinguisher is like superman's kryptonite! Just kidding...

    Congrats Paul. Your oven looks superb! Thanks for posting your progress pics. Hope to see some more of your progress and some of your first food!

    Darius

    P.S. Careful with that extinguisher, you may accidentially put out a fire...

    Wow, the inside of your dome looks beautiful with the fire light. Nice workmanship, Paul.

    I confess that I am a pyromaniac!

    The oven is no where near complete as I still need to do the vent arch, chimney, insulation and outer render but I could no longer resist the temptation of lighting a fire.

    Over the last couple of weeks I have relented to pressure and completed a few other jobs around the house to reduce the jealousy my wife feels towards my oven and power tools because of the attention I have been giving them. We are off to the UK for 3 week over Christmas to visit family so nothing more will be done on my build but at least that means the dome will have over 6 weeks of curing in a hot Aussie summer.

    I started laying the bricks for the vertical part of the arch yesterday afternoon. I plan to cut the bricks in the vent arch with a rebate to take the weight of the chimney. I'm not sure who's WFO the oven below is but this is the style of brickwork around the chminey that I plan on building.

    From everyones comments on this board, I don't think you are Paul. I just started, but it's in my blood already.

    Nice work Paul.
