Hi all -
I've joined because I'm looking for input on a design I'm getting started on. I'm new to masonry but I've been heating with wood all my life, I'm a decent carpenter and metalworker, and I'm also an avid pizza cook. I'm designing a new two-level deck for my back yard, and one goal for it is this:
a pizza bake oven accessible on the upper level integrated with a fireplace facing the lower level, sharing a single foundation and chimney.
Since the oven hearth can be c. 36"+ above the upper floor level and the fireplace hearth can be close to the lower floor level, they can be vertically separated by 4-5' and this seems like enough space to physically accommodate both functions.
If any one has resources to suggest, or can suggest which sub-forum I should post questions on this topic to, I'll be much obliged!
Thanks,
Allen
