Hey,
So my pizza oven project has been in the works for a while now, I've been going at it slowly, but now I'm to the actual brick oven design. I am planning on building a barrel oven, even after reading many debates on here about it.
I have laid the cooking floor, which is 34" wide by about 32" deep. I am planning on making the arch 34" wide, and 32" deep an 16" from floor to inside of ceiling, and i did a mock up, it seems to work nicely with a angled brick in the top center. But my problem now is designing a form to build this off of and how to space the bricks when mortaring them(shims maybe?) My one thought is 2 plywood arcs with strips of wood between them and the blocks resting on the wood, will that work? Any tips or techniques would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
