First question here as I prepare for my journey to crispy pizza's, succulent roasts and a whole lot-a other good cooking
What I'm planning is a little different (see http://www.fornobravo.com/forum/f2/n....html#post5430
) so a few questions are in order.
While talking to a mate the other day, who has a precast business, we where talking about the pizza oven part. He suggested that if we could find out what the mix is - that we could pre-cast the oven in sections. I'm thinking of a boat-style construction where its made of slices - possibly about 8in thick. This would allow me to do the vent in one slice as well as the front and back faces. It would also allow me to make the back slice with a bit of a dome.
I've attached a rough image of what I'm thinking.
I know this isn't a traditional oven design but I'm hoping that some of you guru's can help me out a bit My first two questions are:
1. can this sort of thing be precast? what would a good formula be for the mix? does it need reinforced at all?
2. will this be enough insulation? Should I look at pre-filling the slices with something or wrapping the whole thing in something?
Thanks!
