Dmun,
Nice work. Did you say which program you used for the modeling? Really nice.
Can I double check this. You have a 36" interior oven, and have 171 bricks in the dome and cooking floor, and 44 tapered bricks for the vent arch. Is that right?
Can you say how many bricks went into the dome and how many into the floor? I can take your counts, and retro-fit them into the main set of plans for the material list for the 36" oven.

Like the design.
Hi, Like the design, in fact that is exactly how I am going to do my oven, love to see your clouser for the flute.
Thank you.
Fabio.

Arch construction
I have drawn the arch-form bricks that Paulages found for his oven. I am alternating the two least tapered sizes to get the radius that I want. This goes from the height of one brick on end at the far edges to the desired height of 14 inches at the center I was tempted to taper the entire arch at the thirty degrees, but I thought this was asking for heat loss and smoke leakage. I haven't detailed the smoke chamber-to-flue transition. I assume some sort of funnel shape is indicated. I am likely to build this out of split (thin) fire bricks.
Brick count: 44 special tapered arch firebricks, or less, depending on the width of the smoke chamber.
The brick total so far:
171 standard bricks
44 special tapered bricks
an unknown number of splits for the smoke chamber.
As always, beware the advice of someone who doesn't have practical experience. I've done some brickwork, but never built an oven.

Last ring and cap
As previously mentioned, the last ring has exactly 12 half bricks. This is so that the x-shaped cap center will be supported by a flat brick on each side. Each corner of the "x" will have a custom cut brick to fill the hole.
Brick counts:
Ring 7 6 bricks
Cap 9 bricks

Upper rings
The 4th ring is where the arch intersects the oven, and some fancy cutting may be needed to create a smooth transition.
The fifth and six rings will need either trimming or a small brick inserted to line up evenly.
Brick counts:
Ring 4 10 bricks
Ring 5 9.5 bricks
Ring 6 7.5 bricks

Soldier course
The first course is the upright half bricks. I show the first courses with the side walls of the entry to show how and where they intersect. These walls slope up toward the oven, this will be explained when we get to the arch
The base is sketched here, just to establish just to show its basic size. No construction details are included.
Brick counts:
Soldier course 17 bricks
Walls of entry 14 bricks

More CAD drawings
First a correction, in my former postings, what I called the sixth and seventh rings were identical, due to a cut and paste error. Now the last ring before the cap is called ring 7. I have edited the previous posts to remove incorrect information.
I have done additional drawings including brick counts.
You will see my small innovation to brick oven design: The entry walls are radial to the brick circle, which will simplify the geometry of the intersection of the dome to the entry, as well as provide more room to access the interior of the oven, and a larger working area for starting the fire.
First, the brick floor, which I have drawn in a herringbone pattern. It might be simpler to use the recommended ship-lap pattern, but I like this pattern. The floor uses 69 bricks.Last edited by dmun; 08-22-2005, 01:06 PM.

I can't help my self either I like to use Cad.
Nice 3d drawings. I like the Cap You made. Its different from the orignal Pompeii becuse in the plans you put in a wood form for the last brick course and the dome sort has a flat space there.

CAD envy
I don't see any problems with your drawings, but I sure am feeling inadequate with any of my crayola-quality scrawlings I used to lay it out.
In truth, you'll likely some small variances, based upon any small inconsistencies in product or application. I'm only on my first row, so I'm no expert. I'd recommend giving yourself enough time to put dry fit each row as you go, then be careful to not use too much mud, so you can keep them tight as you work your way around.
Keep the faith,

7th ring and cap
You will notice the 7th ring has exactly twelve bricks. The bricks on the four sides will intersect with the four sides of the cruciform cap.
The four diamond shapes holes in the quadrants of the cap will be filled with custom cut brick segments.
Thanks for looking at these. If there is anything I'm doing way wrong, please let me know.
