Can I use this for my Clay for Cob Oven

[rubone47]

Hello I'm new to this type of construction and have been trying to read all I can about this. I wish to build a Cob Oven but don't have the time to go out and gather my own clay so I'm planning on buying it (Hopefully in a powered form) I have found this product but am not sure this is what I'm looking for.Can someone tell me if this product will fit my needs.

Re: Can I use this for my Clay for Cob Oven

I'm sure that would probably work will however may not be the cheapest option. Your best best will probably be to buy a bag, mix some up with sand and straw, and create a small test to see how the cob holds up and dries. Really the clay in a cob oven isn't doing much more than holding the sand and straw together. I don't think it needs to be high quality.
