      Here's some shots of the area the masons were doing. Now that they're gone I can get back to building the insulated hearth.

        Hi Howie,
        The patio looks great! Are the bricks in the base the same as the floor of the patio? (or is the patio floor made of pavers as opposed to brick?)
        You may have convinced me to build a round base oven. It looks super!!

          Thanks Rick,
          The Brick is all S&H City Hall Pavers. The perimeter brick was set on edge over a 6"X12" concerete base and mortared into place. The the center patio is set over Site Pack and Stone Dust. The front of the oven is built from the same pavers. Some thought is going into the next two coarses. The base as you see it now is where the slip plane begins. So the next two coarses of brick will be indapendant of the base as it's seen now. I'm convinced it can be had. Yea.. go round! By the time I'm finished with the prototype I'll be able to warn you of all the gremlins one might run into along the way. My next big step is finding vericulite in the area. Any ideas?

            Howie this looks awesome. Is this your design or did you have it professionaly done?


            I really like the round base design, Do you mind if I use your concept in future design/builds?

            K.O.

              Thanks for the complements! I'm honered that someone would put the idea of the round base to use. Have at it! I'm sure it's not the first round oven. But I do think it's the first time somebody built a form out of Luan, 1/8" FRP and 1 5/8" metal stud for 1400 lbs of concrete and "Got Away With It!". I designed and did the layout for the patio with a round concept to deal with the irregular shape of the yard. The slab work and pavers were professionaly installed by a mason who spent 14 years in Italy working in the trade. Still not sure he's off the metric system.. but I'm real happy with the results.
              I'm begining to think the pourpose of this thread is to show just how much fun can be had installing one of these ovens.
