    Hi Bruno,
    How many wheelbarrows full of render did you use and how thick did you put it on?
    Looks great by the way.

    Bruno,
    It is a good idea to wrap the whole thing up to retain moisture for a week. This will help it achieve maximum strength. I find cling wrap works really well. nice job on the rendering by the way.

    Completed the render today using a 4-1-1 mix (Sharp sand-off white cement - lime). I added oxide and reinforcement fibres to the mix for added strength. Depending on how the colour turns out once dried out, i might have to cover it with paint to make the boss happy.

    More photos. I've inserted cardboard around flue and behind front brick arch that will be removed prior to the render fully setting to create an expansion joint that I will fill with high temp silicone.

    I completed the dome insulation and chicken wire today. Hot (33 degrees here today) and itchy work.

    Ended up with 3 layers of 25mm blanket.

    Progress photos attached.

    The kit is supplied with 25mm ceramic fibre blanket. Enough for 2 layers so it will be 50mm thick insulation.

    And does it come with ceramic fiber blanket for the dome?

    Hi,

    The oven is 1000mm internal. They are produced in Italy and I bought it from the importer here in Sydney. Comes as a complete kit except for the external render of course. I will be leaving it as an igloo shape.

    Cheers,
    Bruno

    Hi Bruno,

    Nice set up. What size is your oven, did you mold it yourself?

    Re: Sydney Outdoor Kitchen

    After completing the hearth stand, I realised it was still a bit low for my liking. Even taking into account the 50mm (2in) calsil board insulation and 50mm floor tiles, I decided to add a further 50mm by mortaring in some 50mm hebel blocks directly on the reinforced concrete slab upon which to lay the calsil. This brings my finished cooking floor height to 1100mm (approx 43 inches).

    The following photos show the hebel/calsil insulation layer and the 4 wall sections and floor tiles being fixed. Joints were sealed with refractory mortar.

    Finally, all form work removed after a couple of days drying time - luckily it remained standing !!
