Okay, I am starting to get spring fever and now have congressional approval for my pompei oven (my wife).
I found some really nice blocks with a rough finish face on them already. I think that will give me an easy and nice base look. I tracked down my fire-bricks for about $1 each.
Now just a few questions and opinions if you please.
I believe that I will go with just concrete, rebar, and then vermiculete for my hearth (bricks right on insulating layer).
My main question is about dome thickness/insulation. I read all the threads, but I didn't know if there was a consensus. If you builders were doing another oven, mainly looking for quick-fire times and not so worried about long retention times. What would you do for thickness and insulation order? I will not enclose the oven. I will go with the standard igloo (with stucco finish).
Thanks,
Mike
