Hello cooks and cobblers!
I am attempting to build a wood fire oven in Uganda (part 2?). I live in Kampala, the capital city, and building materials are a bit easier to find than the other East African threads I've seen here. However I'm having trouble finding vermiculite or perlite. Ironically Uganda has a mine which produces vermiculite for export (an australian company) however I've been in touch with them and they have informed me the mine has ceased production and they can't provide it to me.
I've seen other suggestions here like woven ceramic but so far I haven't had luck in finding that in Kampala either.
I'd appreciate suggestions of more commonly available materials that could function as decent insulating material.
Thanks!
