    Re: Shep's Oven Firing

    Even if you have solid refractory under the floor, you can wrestle your way through it. Shep, first thing is to fully get your oven up to temperature and get some serious heat and bake some great pizza. 750F minimum. Go for it, and see how it does.

    The biggest problem with an uninsulated floor is that it will be more difficult to keep the floor at pizza temperature when you make a series of pizzas in a row. But first things first. I've been there with the uninsulated floor (my Scott oven had 9" of brick and concrete for the floor), and there are ways of working around the floor problem.

    Let us know how it goes.

      Will 2 inches of refractory cement "Mizzou" provide sufficient insulation for the hearth base.

        Mizzou castable plus does not seem to have any insulating properties. The linked page stresses resistance to spalling and slag penetration, which would more of a solid product.

          Thanks for all your help, I think that i have solved my problem, After building a (holy Crap Fire) I have no problem, I was afraid to build a hot enough fire. Thanks again, By the way about 3 weeks ago i ordered a cook book from Forno Bravo, I have not recieved any contact from them, what is the customary delivery time table?

          Bye for now
