I'm not very happy about the insulation on my oven. I have the following:
Fire bricks in the dome, followed by a one inch ceramic blanket and then varying degrees of vermicrete.
It varies from the sides to the top because I found it quite hard to get the stuff to stick on the sides.
Now, I could just apply another layer of vermicrete - again thickening the top third and only just bringing the sides up to the proper spec, and then stucco (render in the UK).
Or...
Apply one more one inch blanket over the bottom two thirds of the oven with chicken wire and then stucco this and the rest of the oven. The idea being that the blanket is easier to put in place than vermicrete.
Am I mad or suggesting the best I can do?
