  • Curing oven

    Should I cure my 42 inch Pompeii before I install insulation or after I have read of people doing it both ways?

    Re: Curing oven

    Like you said people go either way. But what type of insulation you installing? Igloo or enclosure? Cladding? Lots of variables. I cured without insulation but your case could be different.

      I am using ceramic fibre insulation and plan an igloo style finish. The oven is under a roof so I'm not worried about rain.

          Stucco. Thank you for responding. I have been reading your build and many others for years and now finally had time to build my own

            My plans are just like yours. I plan on curing and having it full blast before i put the insulation, because i can see how the oven performs, if it cracks, or i should say how much it cracks etc.

              One thing that was suggested when I cured was to loosely cover the dome with the CF while curing to help equalize the the temperature from the inside to the outside. I did not out of forgetfulness but not a bad idea and nothing to loose.

                Thanks again for the quick response. On another note I have several lengths of black stove pipe from an old wood stove could I use this for my chimney?

                  I'll defer that question to others who used single wall pipe. I used Selkirt double wall SS pipe.

                    I'm either going to use a single walled pipe or no pipe, just vent it out with a red brick chimney. I am not paying $$$$ for a double walled pipe. Thats just me.

                      That's exactly my thoughts. I'm sure my wood burning stove gets hot than my oven will. I can't see spending more on the chimney than the rest of the oven

                        I read an English build and his using an enameled single steel pipe. Sounds more durable than plain steel but is it available , I'm going to be keeping my eye open for that it sounds usable?

                        Cut once
                        Fit in position with largest hammer

                            Isnt enamel just the finish? If so you can even apply engine enamel from a spray can.

                              I think it's dipped and then oven baked. I don't know about engine paint would it be hard to spray the inside of a 6 in steel tube. I now have a mental picture of someone's arm up the elbow in a steel tube with a spray can. Recon one of those gloves that they use to inseminate cows. I'm not letting this thought go any further.....
