I would like to start by saying thank you. This site has inspired me every step of my oven obsessed path. I am on my second build. The first was a pompeii brick oven ( i built from the plans) which works beautifully...but I have a client that wants one so....
Oven #2 - a geodesic refractory dome. I only just discovered the other geodesic builds today. This afternoon when I was dry fitting my pieces I was starting to get somewhat discouraged that I may have just wasted a lot of time and material - but hopefully now I can go back and make this work. I started this design mainly because I am in Canada and I need to make assembly on site in the spring easier. I chose castable refractory because I would like this oven to heat up faster. I spent my masonry apprenticeship cutting architectural cut stone so I am convinced I need to make the face stone pretty. I have a 2" slab of black granite I plan to polish up that I hope will accent the limestone...
I have lots of work to do on it still, but any feedback is appreciated. thnks
