I need advise from the experienced masons out there..
OK few Qs and advise on my pre-plan
I want the base to be lower than the 41.6" from the pompei plans
also I'd like it to be easier to disassemble
so I "decided" to stack 3 rows of cinder blocks (24"), 4x8x16 blocks instead of the concrete pour (4") topped with duroc (1/2") and a final vermiculite cement pour of 5" for a total height or 33 1/2" here's the question
are there any structural issues using 5" of vermiculite since it's so spongy ?
and will the 4" cinder blocks be strong enough??
I have seen the MHA pizza party where they use cinderblocks for their oven
http://mha-net.org/docs/v8n2/wildac07b.htm
I could substitute the cinder blocks with the solid ones
I want the base to be easily disassembled in case i need to move it since I might be selling my house I don't know if the new owner would like a big oven in the backyard when the time comes.. just in case
and... almost forgot can I get away with the cement pad completely??
I have good compact soil
