I am aiming to put in a Casa2G90, but want to outsource the stand building. I'm trying to avoid mixing/pouring concrete only to have to decorate/stucco the blocks.
I am planning on having a base built out of Belgard Hardscape Wall Modules. These Modules will have a steel top installed over them and pavers laid onto that steel top which will replace the 3.5" Concrete Slab that the instructions recommend. I would then install the FB Board Insulation on top of the pavers (which would effectively be the first layer of the hearth). So from the ground up, we would have the following layers: wall module, steel, pavers, FB Board, cooking floor, dome, etc.
I would then proceed to assemble the dome and cooking floor on top of the FB Insulating Board.
Is there a problem with this approach (Specifically the paver to FB Board transition)? The pavers will likely not be perfectly flat. Will the FB board compress, wiggle, or otherwise deform? Or will it fill into the small gaps between pavers? The pavers will look nice (on the uncovered parts) but if this is a mistake, I could probably put in 16x16 flat blocks. They don't look as good, but would be much closer to flat.
