Thank you for this site, it's been such an incredible help in my oven process.
My slab has been poured, and I have been given concrete blocks for my stand. These blocks are not flat on the sides, making it difficult to mortar them. They're even, but have grooves in the sides.
My question is...I know the instructions suggest simply pouring concrete into the block cavities on every other one, but I just want to be sure that others have tried it and have had no problems with just mortaring the first course.
Also, I have noticed some only use 3 course instead of 4. Is that an ok procedure?
Thanks so much.
