Hi all... newbie here who may have goofed...
I'm building a WFO in a picnic grove behind my tavern. My primary use is to make pizzas some evenings all day (if possible) on weekends.
The hearth slab is curing now, but I put the vermiculite layer (~3") under the concrete layer (~3") which seems to be out of favor due to excessive thermal mass.
My questions:
1) Should I leave it as is or add another insulating layer on top of the concrete? If so, what material and how thick?
2) Should I make the hearth floor 2.5" or 4.5" thick?
Thanks in advance, I look forward to your responses and hope to contribute photos and lessons learned along the way.
