Wanting confirmation on the pre soaking of fire brick before mortaring in place.
On my first oven I would soak bricks in a bucket of water until they stop bubbling before I mortared them in place. Is this still the prefered method for dome and arch construction?
And I think I also would re dampen the bricks that would be in place from the previous days work before I added more brick to that course.
Just wanting to make sure I am on the right track as I hope to tackle a new oven shortly. Am I on the right track here?.......thanks wayne
