Jeeez, guys, are you 12?

Re: WHich Oven ?

Yes, for the last 20+ years. Where are you in Kali?

Are you living in Japan now?

Re: WHich Oven ?

Glad you found them, and yes i have been totally into the WFO for about 25 years now, always learing and trying differnt types, thank you, may you always be happy and healthy

Re: WHich Oven ?

When in photo gallery, click on finished ovens, should be there around page 3 and 4

I found it, the best way is to hit (W) and your ovens are first. They are huge and you look totally into them. BTW, nice locks.

Re: WHich Oven ?

Hi Laurentius, if you look in the photo gallery around page 3and 4 you will see a couple of my ovens, thank you have a great day

I hit the the link and they show random photos. Is there anything that can lead me to your?

Hi Woodfiredoven,

Are you still here? If so, please post some photos of your Clay and Abode ovens.

Re: WHich Oven ?

If you look in wikipedia, it has the numbers for adobe, they are not the same as for a clay body. Adobe is loam, of which clay is a component.

Thanks Tom,
It seems the thermal conductivity is substantially lower for adobe, although that may be accounted for by the lower % of clay in the mix. I had thought the clay content was much higher. I'm now more curious than I was before, to find out whether the firing of a given sample of a clay body will increase its thermal conductivity. I still may do a test if I can find the time.

Re: WHich Oven ?

The numbers for adobe do not match those for clay as in a clay body used to make brick, in any respect, thermally.

Thanks TS, can you post those numbers and save me from doing my own tests?
Not interested in the max service temp as that is way beyond what we use anyway, just the thermal conductivity at the temp range we use.
Thanks,
Dave

Re: WHich Oven ?

The clay in adobe is like the clay in a common house brick. It's not the same as the clay in fire brick. Adobe < clay < fireclay. You can keep researching but I'm done with this one.

Yes, I'm about done on the topic too, but it's been a good discussion, thanks. The thing that interests me though is whether there would be any measurable difference in unfired or fired clay for any given sample. It is also possible that low duty bricks with low thermal conductivity are actually less thermally conductive than a cob mixture.
