Re: How to build chimney and outer arch

Thanks guys, I've only recently discovered this forum and its a treasure trove of information and experience. I always thought this site was just about selling a particular brand!!! Glad I found it when I did as I'm just about ready for the supporting slab
Thanks KB! That probably would have been one of my next questions

RichC,
Welcome to the forum???.Hope ya don?t mind me stepping in on the thread.........Here's a question I feel is fitting for this thread and also a good starting topic????. How much chimney will a hearth slab support that is 3 1/2" thick with 1/2" rebar on 8" square centers?

Hi, I'm building from a kit ( http://www.pizzaovens4u.com/download...Stepbystep.pdf ) but I'm considering building my own chimney and arch from red brick rather than firebrick or the vermiculite structure supplied with the kit. Has anyone got plans for the outer arch and chimney structure ? And can anyone comment on my idea please ?
Thank
Richard
