Here is what i did but please look at the earlier entries on this post for more details on the heat break.

Re: Randy's dreams do come true oven build

does the rope go all the way around? if so, how?

Yes, stuffed in from the back side. It is open as you build the flue arch.

Re: Randy's dreams do come true oven build

I have one more question. For the vent heat break would this work.

Re: Randy's dreams do come true oven build

What ever method you choose, don't forget the reveal! One is not shown in your drawing as is in Chip's .

Re: Randy's dreams do come true oven build

Opps sorry I just did not draw one. But I have a 1 and 5/8" reveal. Thanks for noticing and making sure I don't miss something.

Just another way to do it and I guess when I think about it your way is much simpler.

Re: Randy's dreams do come true oven build

Probably not easier, but I went with a knotched design. It gave me full 3" reveal. And, good "side to side" room to work the oven through the flu entry. That's probably about as much room as some have gotten with the "flared" entries. Just another way to "skin the cat" .

Re: Randy's dreams do come true oven build

Ok that is what I was thinking. Good to hear from someone else though. Gulf I was first thinking of doing it the way you did but now I am looking for quick and easy. I like to say [give a lazy man a difficult job and watch him find a easy way to do it. ] thanks for the response.

OK, I have two questions on Chip's diagram, which I wrote on the diagram. I can be a slow learner...

yes and yes

Re: Randy's dreams do come true oven build

Chip I have a question. For the heat break gap could I fill it with just blanket scraps or should I use ceramic rope? And what should I ask for for sealing the gap on the inside, so I know what to ask for at SS.

Re: Randy's dreams do come true oven build

are you going to have any support in the middle of your frame? Are you concerned that the weight of the hearth and oven is will not be supported by just a perimeter of CMUs?

i ask because as i am getting ready to build my 42 corner build, i have some concern as well. I too, was going to go with 72" sides.

thanks!

Re: Randy's dreams do come true oven build

Hey Joey how are you. I have no worries at all about the stand. Most of the weight is within a foot of the edge. My slab is also 6" thick with a lot of rebar in it as well. And my front Archie also part of the poored slab and is almost 12" thick. There is rebar and core filling in all the block. So it is pretty much a bomb shelter. Oh and my base is 70"x70"so pretty close to what you are thinking.

Re: Randy's dreams do come true oven build

Well I got my ceramic rope and sealant for my heat break. It sure is nice to have a local place that you can go in to tell them what you want to do and they say here you go this is what you need.
