Re: Basalt the material made in hell.
I remember the smoke seeping thru the top of the WFO. It is also entirely possible the oven was mortarless with the few bits of cement /mortar on the front of the oven of more recent date.
V12Spirit, I think Stonecutter's statements "I know one thing about building with Basalt from experience....it is a chisel breaking, saw blade wearing, hard lifting stone to work with." are sufficient reasons why one would not work with solid basalt blocks. There are alternatives that are easier to work and perform as well.
