Hi
I have been reading about many of your oven builds and am planning to start mine soon. I built my first oven about 27 years ago it was a bread oven, an Allen Scott design. after the brick work was finished and before the insulation was put on to cover the brick I applied a layer of heavy duty aluminum foil with the shinny side against the brick, this has the effect of reflecting some of the heat back toward the brick. In my business I have built many kilns that I use to melt and process glass and have used this in some of them it is quite effective. My question is that I haven't come acrossed it on this forum, I will admit I haven't read everything but was wondering if some of the more experienced builders here might have a comment on this. I am planning on doing it for my 36" and was wondering if any of you have also.
