Hi all, Very new here! My oven idea was a last minute addition to a landscape construction job I'm in the middle of here in (smoky from wildfires) Taos NM. I just wanted to get a foundation and hearth foot-print in so I could butt the flagstone up to it then study and design a pretty 42" oven later when I had more time.
I used the 42" corner oven dimensions from page 18 of the pdf plan but, in a hurry, thought the 42" was an INSIDE measurement, hence I'm 10" off on the base.
Right now, the outside dimension of my corner hearth (cement is already set inside the concrete blocks) is currently 61.5" on the two sides, sticks out 40.5", the diagonal blocks being 30" across.
I'm wondering how to get a 42" (interior) oven onto this thing? Maybe cantilever the oven floor support out 5" all around?
Or do I just do a 36" (interior) oven? (Which is probably a bit too small for my cooking...)
I wonder how far off the hearth/support I can get away with so as to gain more room for the oven but not have it look stupid? The "tongue" piece to hold the oven entry chamber can, of course, be built out,diagonally from the base and so I'll need to get those supports in now.
Basically, is there any way I can make this 10" too small hearth work for 42" oven or do I need to re-think everything? Maybe just blow it off, do it when I do the landscape the back yard next summer...
Decisions decisions...
Thanks for any advice or kind thoughts,
