I have poured my insulating slab and am ready to start the 42" dome construction and I have the following questions regarding the fire brick mortar mix design:
Pics of build
Per the Forno Bravo oven building instructions (Appendix 6. High Heat Mortar) and from the forum the Fire Brick Mortar mix is;
1 part Portland Cement
3 parts Sand
1 part Lime
1 part Fireclay
I am using a product by HC Muddox labled ?Mortar Clay? and the bag has the following mix instructions;
1 part Mortar Clay
2 parts Portland Cement
6 parts Sand
With NO additional Lime.
Should I use the FB mix instructions with the HC Muddox Mortar Clay?
Or should I follow the mix instructions on the bag?
Thanks for any help, Eric
