  • Re: Rustic Primitive Materials

    Gudday Zoe
    Annie's oven is rustic but at its heart, its built right, because Annie's made some good decisions, and considered the advice she was given
    Annie's has used brick ( not slate or cast like she started with)
    Annie's used fireproof cement mix.
    And probably the most important, Annie has insulated her oven both under and over.
    The $7 a firebrick has an "ouch" factor. I paid $3.30 ea and that made it the major cost in mine.
    You have some firebrick already which is great you can use it for the oven hearth, the floor, it will be strong and robust.
    I left a link to a NZ oven in your thread in it the builder uses Pressed Clay Pavers. There is quite a discussion on brick commons and what is suitable. I would use the pavers myself if I needed to as they are quite dense and uniform. Brick commons can vary a lot and its hard to pick what is suitable.
    Brick commons have there use thought and I have used them outside the shell of my own oven for entrance chimney and external clading.

      Hi Dave and Annie,
      Thanks fo much for your helpful replies.
      I've got pretty simple needs too, Annie, and a modest budget too!
      Dave, thanks for the link to Bevan's build, I've been in contact with him and his pavers are going well, so that sounds good.
      I think I'm a little overwhelmed by all the amazing builds and info on this forum...need to just start now, and stop thinking so much!
      Tootlepip,
      Zoe.

        Hi Annie,
        I have been viewing your thread for a while because I was short of materials and I was impressed by building with what is available. I have just one question. Is the picture below the final of your project? I mean I can't see any insulation for the dome.

        Why is this thus? What is the reason for this thusness?
        I forgot who said that.

              Leaving your home and oven by the sea doesn't mean you have to leave us,................ does it .

                    Best of luck, Annie!
                    I look forward to Rustic Primitive II....meanwhile, there is a Rustic Primitive I inspired oven stating to take shape down here in the southern hemsiphere - thanks for showing that even novices can use materials at hand to make a lovely oven!
                    Cheers
