  • Materials for my build...

    I have time on my side so I am doing my best to avoid paying retail prices..

    Our local buy and sell site "Gumtree" is very handy

    So far I have spent $150 Australian.. About 106 USD..

    For that I have....

    Enough rebar to complete 2 concrete slabs.. With a lot left over..
    120 Insulating fire bricks.. I plan to lay these as a base instead of the CalSil board, the remainder will be for the lay back flue that will located on top of the dome.. Using a traditional flue arch but then redirected back over the dome then up from there..
    3.3 metres or 11 feet of insulating blanket

    30 full size fire bricks with a box of off cuts that the seller had from the build
    Three quarters of a bag of perlite
    An internal dome form for the flue gallery.


    Some CalSil tiles that I haven't really looked at yet..

    Acquired for no cost from friends..

    Enough 230 x 115 x 38 super duty fire bricks for two layers of the base
    A lot of those little concrete things that hold the rebar off the form work...(old photo)

      Today I picked up some lead shot bricks.. They look awesome.
      They were very cheap, the guy just wanted to get rid of them.. He couldn't remember where he got them or how long he had had them...

      They will be the face on the front wall of the structure enclosing the oven...
