I'm close to finishing my dome and I'm trying to decide whether to clad it with an inch of HeatStop mortar for thermal mass or use that inch for extra insulation blankets/loose vermiculite.
I really like the idea of cooking the next day without re-firing the oven.
Will the extra inch of mass make a big difference in the performance of the oven or would it be splitting hairs? Would I be better off using that inch for insulation?
Also, will cladding the oven make it more susceptible to cracking?
Thanks!
