Hi
Im planing to build a pompei type oven primarily for bread and I was planing to use 9" fire bricks for the dome untill I read the piece about too much thermal mass. What are the disadvantages of using 9 inch brick for the dome, what is the difference in firing time to get the oven to the proper temperature? How long does it take the 4.5" dome to reach it and what should I expecte if i use 9"? And what about thermal capacity, by reducing the size of the dome would I have enough heat to bake my bread?
Thank you for taking the time to read and answer my questions.
