Re: K79 Oven Build
Ok, I'm working on my arch entry. I know it's not good to have joints line up. That being said, is it ok to line up the joints of my vent wall with my inner arch wall joints? They are independent of each other aren't they? The other option would be to get some 1/2 size firebricks or splits I think they're called and offset the joints if they need to be. They look offset in the photos by about 1/8" but that's obviously because I haven't put any mortar on them yet.

Noticed you're from Maine - good to see another builder from around here. I am around half finished with an indoor 32" build.
Yes, it is nice to see a fellow Mainer on here !! I'm by Augusta, you somewhat local or up in the countyLast edited by K79; 06-04-2013, 04:33 AM.

Re: K79 Oven Build
Ok I've decided not to parge the outside of the dome for the following reasons:
1. Can't find a product that is made for this application
2. Not a huge consensus telling me it needs to be done
3. Not in the FB plans
4. Wasn't planning on wrapping it in wire first and since it's under tension not compression I don't feel it's going to do much for the oven or hold up.
5. It would really be squeezing me tight on my enclosure since I didn't plan on this thickness.

Maybe you can mix some lime and/or fireclay with it to increase it's thermal properties. I'm sure one of the resident experts will chime in.

Re: K79 Oven Build
Calisdad,
I got my Duravent parts from a fellow forum member who had some extra ones!
I myself actually have an extra 6" Stainless Steel Duravent mounting plate and also the 6" Stainless Steel cap (you would need to find your own chimney tube sections which you can buy from FornoBravo DuraVent UL103HT Chimney System).
I'm not sure if 6" is too small for you, however. Let me know if you are interested and we can probably work something out. We are both in CA

Re: K79 Oven Build
I have to thank you guys for posting- especially the pics. Going to make the leap into cutting more brick today and unless I have a good idea of where I'm headed I tend to stall.
Neil- where did you get your Duravent supplies?
thanks-
Calisdad
