Been lurking about on here, and have found this as a valuable resource for my build. Thank you guys!
My story began watching a tv show over here called "River Cottage" where they hastily knocked up a pile of Concrete Blocks, moulded a sand form and made a Cob oven in an afternoon for a Pizza party that evening. Clay was a bit hard to find in my particular Area of the UK, so i stumbled upon this website, and their fantastic free plans (thank you) which steered me in a new direction.
My budget wouldn't allow a full Firebrick version, (the ovens on here can be works of art!) so my investigations followed a more Traditional/recycled approach. I've rounded up some full clay bricks (Thanks Rado, for your website and its valuable information also), and matched the brick to a Hydraulic Lime mortar.
My Photoblog will be uploaded shortly.
