Thickness of vermiculite concrete

Re: Thickness of vermiculite concrete

You can always raise your floor in front of the hearth, many easy ways to do that. I actually was thinking of a two-tiiered outdoor kitchen design when I started the planning.

The first thing that stuck in my head when I started reading this forum was:

Insulate
Insulate
And then Insulate some more!

I am going with 4" ceramic board on the floor and 4-5 inches on the dome, probably will have enough to get to 7" on the dome.

G'day
I'm 5'6" my wife's 5" ( she says). I built the kitchen for the child bride (except the top cupboards) so I built a 8 in stool so she could reach.
That thing I constantly kick.
She leaves the top cupboard doors open which catch me at eyebrow Level.
I steal what I need and retreat into the yard to the WFO oven its, safer that way.

Re: Thickness of vermiculite concrete

2 inches of CF board is pretty much the minimum recommended. Most builders will go with 3 inches (75mm, if you prefer ) these days

Re: Thickness of vermiculite concrete

the cooking floor will be 1.3 metres high...im 1.9 so no worries there.

Alex, I ran across this old pic of a friends party. You were worried by the height, this cook made it work.

I would love to see him pull a turkey or a leg of lamb out of that!

Ducks disease or not I reckon he needs a work platform to wrangle anything much out of there.

I like the copper roof and the finish on the enclosure.
