    Re: Volcanic rock

    Thank you. I will search for a supplier near to the island where we have our property, I am sure there will be one. We have property in a very remote place and wanted to try and use local materials. We will have a look out and see what we can do. Thanks

      Here in the Philippines, red fire brick is readily available. Should be the same in Indonesia. Try to find a place where they mine perlite, it's a great insulating matl. Even the unexpanded perlite. They mine it everywhere here. It's used in light-weight construction.

        If you are thinking about building a brick oven, my advice is Here.

        I try to learn from my mistakes, and from yours when you give me a heads up.

          True and True.

          Like no other beaches I have ever seen, white sand crystal clear waters, and great weather all year round.

              You might want to do some research on Cob Ovens if brick isn't readily available. They aren't nearly as sturdy as brick ovens, but the materials are usually easily gotten. A Google research will bring up a ton of info. That's how I found this website!

              Hope this might help.

                Thanks I will think about a cob oven, it had crossed my mind. But as others have suggested I should be able to get the materials needed somewhere not too far away, or at least in country! Thanks
