Welcome Lance, sounds like another baker. Is this for at home or work? It will nice to have another chef on board.

That sounds okay but I throw in some questions. How do you keep from compressing the blanket? Is there some kind of spacer used? I have not used the blanket so others will provide better advice. Do you put anything over the blanket to separate the wet stucco from the blanket.

And how about chicken wire in the stucco coat? It's cheap enough. do others use that?

I'll be watching the responses as I'm thinking about a portable/mobile oven design.

Hello all my name is lance and i found this site a few days ago and im gonna build an oven! I have been a cook(chef) for about 11 years and have used two different ovens during this time. As all here will agree the food coming out of them is second to none.I also have building experience and friends with all kinds of skills, and huge set of.........hands. Well on with my question, i just wanted to run by my insulation plan on my barrel oven design. I want to;

1. place heavy duty foil over the brick
2. place ceramic fire blanket over the foil
3. place chicken wire or such over blanket
4. a thick layer 8-10 cm of perilite/verculite (spelling?)
5. stucco scratch coat
6. stucco finish

Is this god, bad, ugly........discuss.
