I actually got the floor laid out and cut last week before I poured the insulating hearth today. I also took the time to face grind, round the edges and polish all the floor bricks to get off any loose or rough areas and so the peel won't catch on them. You can really see the difference in one of the pictures. I also got the first two chains of brick cut and tapered. Time to work on the vent arch bricks now.

Well I started the whole outdoor kitchen a while back and finally decided it was time to get the oven part done so I can finally finish this project. I am building a 42" high dome and will build an enclosure around it. I already had the hearth poured so it was on to the floor insulating part of it. The first round of FB boards I received were damaged in shipping to the point I refused to use them even though the rep at FB said the amount of damage was acceptable (To who I don't know). I could not swallow the fact I paid 100% for a product I could not use 40% of so they agreed to send a new set of boards. I guess lucky for me they did not want to send a call tag for the damaged boards so between the two sets I was able to piece together a double layer of insulating board. I will say the boards are not the most consistent as far as thickness or being level. That being said I decided to pour a perlcrete cap over the two layers. I covered the FB boards in a double layer of HD foil sealed the joints and capped it. I used a Superplasticizer from Fritz pack that I use in my concrete counter tops to reduce the amount of water needed. So I ended up with 4" of FB board and 2-1/2" of 5:1 Perlcrete. Next is the cooking floor.
