By way of intrduction:
I am an Optometrist in the Jacksonville area, and have started a project at my "fishing place" in Crescent Beach. A friend recently renovated a 1950 vintage house on Little Pottsburg Creek, and found nearly two pallets of firebrick under the old porch, apparently used as fill.
I have decided to build an Alan Scott style oven out of these firebrick.
I have poured a slab, and completed the oven stand, now ready to pour the hearth floor.
My question is this-- Should I incorporated fireclay into the concrete layer
of the hearh floor? And if so, at what proportion?
I would appreciate any insight on this subject.
