  • Help! How necessary is the mortar??

    We've just finished building our oven (a Casa2G 80). The people helping us had built one before so we were going on their knowledge of the process rather than reading the manual closely (I know, I know).

    Long story short: we realized after completing the housing that we forgot to mortar the seams of the oven before wrapping it in the insulating blanket. How bad is this? Are we just looking at some heat loss, or are we looking at damaging the insulation or introducing chemicals from it into the oven? The people helping didn't mortar theirs, and it's worked okay (as far as they know) for years.

    All advice and thoughts appreciated! Thanks!
