Re: Work of Love and Passion... Miami FL
Hello
You have a great looking cooking area there.
One suggestion is to make sure you have room behind the dome to get the blanket and covering layer on. I thought I had plenty of room but have resorted to stuccoing the back section of my oven by hand. Stucco mix applied hand full at a time because there is not enough room for a trowel.
Someone in the group mentioned it before I started. I checked and thought there was plenty of room.
Spend time reading the various build threads. There is a wealth of knowledge to mine.
Insulate. Insulate. Insulate.
My oven is still over 150 degrees having fired 4 days ago.

Re: Work of Love and Passion... Miami FL
I was just in your neighborhood last week I wish I had known I would have stopped in.
You have a good start. Your bricks will be plenty strong, brick in compression is off the chart in strength.
Mine are just a veneer but here is my oven, also street brick. From St Paul streets but made in Chicago. $300 for 900 bricks from Craig's list.
As far as suggestions ... Well you already have great skills and a fantastic setup.Last edited by mrchipster; 05-27-2015, 07:35 PM.

Re: Work of Love and Passion... Miami FL
The base has started, Love this... Building my base out of chicago bricks, cost more but looks great. I am planning on making the base 4inches think of concrete does anyone recommend it to be more than that? Any Help would be great. I am also concerned that, my bricks are small compared to the ovens I see which all have cinder blocks. AM I OK?

Building my wood oven any help or advice from members would be awesome. This is my first time building an oven but I do have a little experience on brick laying. I just love it and do it for fun but love FOOD!!! :-)
