    Chris, did you really keep track of your building time? Well, besides now being master builder and designer, I'm nominating you master auditor as well .

    Have all your curings been with the gas? Now that you're at almost 1000 deg on the dome, when are you going do the wood firing and 1st pizzas?

    I think your oven will draw smoke really well, can't wait to see it,
    Cheers, Dino
    The time I keep track of was ONLY standing over and working on the oven.

    Going to the store and get more bricks or glue stucco etc does not count.

    My Friend Sergio BRAVO is the Master Brick layer and he took 39 hours. I was the rest of the time.

    I was the master designer, brick cutter, grunt, hod carrier and mortar mixer and the ROOKIE as SERGIO would say.....but with the RESEARCH on FB forum we took all the Ideas and came up with my oven.

    About the Wood and Pizza it is coming soon

    I just have a few more trick up my sleeve...... I will get some more pictures soon

    BUT Pizza will be soon

    Thanks Dino....................... Oh Master Builder and WFO SLAVE

    Well I did some calculations on how long it took to build the oven

    The master brick layer and the master designer took 65 hours total to get it to this point

    Well here we go another hard day building WFO


    I used my WANT TO BE Certified installer to work the details of the edges, transitions, and joints when I use the acrylic finishes designed for EIFS systems, which are also used by non-certified installers.


    I hope it works

    The Smooth finish was very hard to make smooth with a round dome.....Or was it That i had a non certifed trowel? So I mad Ruff Finish.


    Tscarborough it is all in love and fun....thanks for all the info...Like the COLOR?

    Chris

    Do I need to be a Certified installer to trowl on a 1/16-1/8" coat of STO on a PIZZA OVEN? or What does this statement have to do with WFO?

    just to clear up somethings

    This is my layers starting with brick

    2 1/2" fire brick
    16 gauge chicken fencing (acting like Rebar) with wire attached to it to weave threw the mortar and blanket and sercure the alum lath down and keep it's shape like a doom
    1/2-3/4" of mortar of 3.1.1.1 mix POOR MANS Fire Mortar
    2-3" ceramic blanket
    Alum Foil (covering and TAPE close and tight)
    1/2" alum lath (used in brick laying)
    3/4" of mortar of 3.1.1.1 mix POOR MANS Fire Mortar (FIRST COAT)
    1/2-3/4" of mortar of 3.1.1.1 mix POOR MANS Fire Mortar (SECOND COAT)

    THEN Finally
    1/16th-1/8th" of Sto Powerflex Medium (First Coat)

    I have 20 years as a manufacturer's rep for these particular materials. I have seen them used for many things, correctly and incorrectly, and I will state the bottom line thus: You are on your own for any type of warranty issue or technical question. Caveat Emptor.

    Chris - you are putting this over insulation. I would think that the thermal expansion is non-existant. I have fired my oven with snow on the dome and there are no problems. I personally think you will be golden. But... when your whole build goes to crap, let me know.
