  • Oven door size...

    Today I finished my floor and layed the soldier layer......9inch tall x 2.5 inch. The diameter of my oven is 30 Inch. The floor is cut inside the soldier layer.

    I have a heaight of 12 inch for the door......But I may have messed up... I have only done a width of 16 inch. Everything I read states 18 inch. Do I need to make this right before I continue or will 16 inch be ok?

    Rule of thumb is 63-65% of dome height for inner arch height. Right now, 12" is 80%. Width is more of a builder's choice. On a smaller oven you probably can get away with full soldiers without the need for buttressing.
