Anyone ever try this? I've got a few old wool blankets hanging around.
From the research that I've done, wool has an ignition temp around 1100 F. I'm thinking about placing it underneath the hearth, with an extra layer of firebrick in between. I also plan on running my oven at lower temps- most likely 700 peak for the hearth (a kind of outdoor NY style pizza oven), so I highly doubt the wool blanket will hit anywhere above 600. My goal is use the wool as a barrier between the 600 deg. firebrick and a wood table underneath.
In addition to my lower operating temps, I'm also planning on shorter operating times, so that 600 deg heat won't be sustained for long.
