Hi all,
I?m new to the forum and am building a Wood fired oven. My question is about the floating concrete slab and the fire bricks.
What concrete should be used? Refractory or ordinary concrete for the floating slab?
I?ve been told that the fire bricks provide little insulation and that the heat transfer to the concrete through the fire bricks would make the aggregate in the concrete explode. Is there any truth to this?
Also where should the perlite/vermiculite layer go? Above or below the concrete slab. A lot of differing opinions here!
Thanks in advance.
