Re: Hearth and Oven Floor installation
I would look more into what type trailor supension it was placed on for vibration dampening. I think that the blanket would just flatten out which would loose a lot of it's insulation factor. But, that is just my opinion.

Re: Hearth and Oven Floor installation
What do you guys think about adding some insulation under the FB board on my floor. I'll be making a steel tray to mount in a trailer. I was thinking of putting a layer of ceramic blanket down before the FB Board, then firebrick cooking surface. My thoughts are it would obviously supply insulation, but also could help a little with vibration. What do you think?

For resources - this thread is a little old, but might give you some pointers on places to look in Denver area

Are you in Salida, CO? There must be cheaper sources for firebricks. Here in Seattle they are $1.45 retail. Find somebody with a contractor's license and they're probably close to a buck. Might want to search the forums for recommended resources in your area, and if you don't find anything put a post up in the regional forum asking for help.
The place that quoated me that price is Rio Grande down in Denver. They are a big construction supplier. Shoot, I thought that was a fair price. I guess I need to do some more digging around for resources. Thanks!

A reenforced concrete slab weighs a ton(well technically about half a ton).

You dont need the concrete, its just for a solid base to start from, a steel base if correctly built will do the same job, then its board>firebrick.Last edited by shuboyje; 05-26-2012, 02:08 PM.

Hearth and Oven Floor installation
Hi guys-my first post and I'm getting ready to put together my materials list and start my build!
I'm going to be building my 42" oven on a steel frame in the hopes of making it mobile. When building the floor what is the sequence of materils? I.e. concerete/FB Board/Firebrick? Am I missing anything? Is the base layer of concrete needed if you're using FB Board? If so, would it be beneficial to put a layer of FB Blanket between the FB Board and base layer of concrete? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!Tags: None
