started my build and have some questions.

[autumncs]

Thanks guys, not had to confuse me at the moment, lol. Sorry about the photos beng upside down and on the side above.

I hadn't even considered the stucco straight on the insulation blanket, I was considering a double brick with insulation.

I have marked out the 36" and I think it will work which has 12" walls, 4.5" internal, 3" insulation 4.5" external wall

the full dimensions are (Sorry USA guys metric here) 1570 depth, 1800 wide, corner cut is 950 along 1800 and 1050 along the 1570 depth, I have a bench out the side plus 1200 on to the 1800 and is 830 deep. the angle cut meets the at about 280 along.

I can't add to the size as there is a shed on one side with a slid door which is the 1570 depth and the other the slab there is only about 100 to150 mm before it's paved.

I'll add more later, time to work

hey...

Can drop this into FreeCAD for you tonight - but yes, that's a very tight fit. Can you give me the dimensions of the two sides....

You may get yourself some extra space if you put a thermal break between the inner and outer vents and pour yourself a landing to put the outer vent on.

Otherwise, looks like your using hebel - can you put an extra brick and extend the dimensions?

I screwed up my picture above and I can't get edit to work on any of my posts for some reason. Ignore the pictures above.

And Russell's point was the same one I was trying to show. This picture has a 32" inside diameter on what I am approximating your hearth size to be based on the two measurements. And even at 32" it's very tight.

There is a Aussie build going on right now that is a 42" corner build. Here is the link, he has done a lot of research and design so look at it. Why reinvent the wheel.

I also did a 42" corner build but my concrete base was 86" and my finished oven goes right to the edge. So a 42" will not sit on 71" base.

Picture did not work like I expected it to.

You are not missing anything. The examples on page 17 do not correspond to the dimension guidelines on page 13. The top example on page 17 is an oven with a 35.5 inch outside dome diameter, and the bottom example is an oven with a 40 inch outside dome diameter. Those are really provided just as examples. I believe they correspond to prefab units sold by our host, but am not sure. Since you have built your stand, you need to determine what size oven will actually fit it.

Are you going to go with an enclosure of any kind, or will you be building the stucco covered hemisphere? If you plan on building walls around it you need to account for the thickness of those walls. If you are going to stucco it, you need to account for the thickness of the stucco and lathe. Then figure you will have 3" of insulation blanket under the stucco. Under the insulation blanket you will have the dome bricks themselves, which can vary in thickness but are typically 4.5" if using half bricks. Then you are left with the interior of the oven.

I just guessed at the actual dimensions since you did not specify how much of the corner is cut out, but the attached picture shows what I mean about how to figure out the interior diameter.
{I can't get the picture to upload correctly}


Also, consider that you will have to get your hands and a trowel between the wall and the dome when doing the stucco, etc., so you need to have some kind of gap there to give you room to work, and you need room on the front of the dome for the inner arch, chimney and flue, outer arch, and probably a little bit of landing of some kind. I did not draw that stuff in.

So my advice is to take exact measurements, figure out what you are going to do for arches and chimney, work out the outside dimensions that will fit your hearth, and work from their.

G day all

I've started my build (well the stand) so far, after several years of procrastinating and thinking I can't do this to I can but I have to much else to do, to if I don't do it I'll never do it. Anyway,I have built the base out of Hebel blocks and the heath is Hebel panels. See pictures below.

My man question is sizing, I'll explain now.

My base is 1.8 mtrs (71") by 1.57mtrs (62") with a diagonal corner cut out.
I was planning on working with the Pomeii Oven and I have the PDF Version 2, I am a little confused. I was looking at building the 42" high vault and thinking of just the dome (no enclosure). I was working on the figures on page 13. Then I've moved on to pages 17 and 18 and are confused as the sizes are 35.5", 40",43.5" and 49" which don't correspond to figures on page 13.

Am I missing something?

What is the maximum size you would recommend?

Thanks in advance,Tim.
