Re: New Here

Hi Les what I am getting at is I dont need to build the BASE for the oven. From what I have seen everyone uses the base as their wood storage. I have a perfect sloping area in the backyard I can cut into vertically and place my oven right at level on the graded ground. So my oven will be on the grade and I will be able to stand in the cut out dirt area.

Did that make any sence

Absolutely - The reason we all opt for the wood storage is that it is a by product of building the hearth. It's an area that can be used for something - if not wood - beer or wine comes to mind, if you don't live in my environment

Good luck and keep the questions coming - this is a great forum.

Welcome,

I think as long as you pour footings and then your hearth slab, it would be just fine.

Have fun with the new obsession.

I am sure that you will soon know what I mean.

And don't forget to post lots of pictures of your build.

Hi Tony - Welcome!

Not sure of your question - can you elaborate a bit on the wood storage issue?

Hello,

I am new here and would like to introduce myself, I am Tony from Paso Robles, CA. I am doing research on my first oven. I just bought my first house and have a great backyard. I have a natural slope in the back yard so I will be building my oven on that. I will level the dirt to pour my slab. Just wanted to say hi and see if anyone has any thought on using the natural grade instead of the base with wood storage.

Thanks all
