Re: How much $$$ do you have in your oven

Thanks Jeep!
I was guessing $2500 or so. I just know from other projects that things come up you were not accounting for. Pretty soon a $1000 job is actually $1500 or more. Been there. Thanks for the reply!

Re: How much $$$ do you have in your oven

Tilesaw can cut firebrick just fine as long as you have a big enough throat. It can make a lot of nasty dust and noise. I used a hydraulic brick splitter I found on craigslist for $50...it worked just fine and no dust or noise! I am thinking that my entire build probably cost me about $2500-$3000. This included permit, tool rentals, foundation concrete, re-bar/wire mesh, metal framing studs, cement backer board (if you choose to build it the way I did), thermal insulation (blanket and board), metal framing studs, chimney liner and cap, and I dressed my entire oven in stone veneer...which was pricey, but worth it, roofing shingles.

I have a 42 inch, and use every inch of it....so much fun!

Ballpark figure, what did your ovens cost to make?
I have room for a 40" or so and like the round Pompeii style.
I have roughly figured the firebrick, mortar and base. But i know there are many other items i am not realizing.

Also can a tile saw cut firebrick? Or do i need a brick saw?

Thanks!
