    Re: 36" vs. 38"

    Thanks Dmun.

    Any concerns about my firebrick or is that pretty standard.

    Also, I've been following your progress and look forward to the complettioin. I got to admit that I'm overwhelmed by the complexity of it.

    Can't wait to see it.

    Re: 36" vs. 38"

    When I laid out my oven on my workshop floor as a dry run it looked tiny. (mine is a 36) When I crawled into it afterwords, to scrub the mortar off the joints inside, it seemed as big as Grand Central.

    Is an inch on each side worth re doing your plan? Maybe not. If it's at the expense of insulation on the sides and back, you may not want to.

    36" vs. 38"

    Gang,

    Layed my bricks down for my 36" - looks smaller than I thought. I might be able to squeeze a 38" on my hearth - any real benefit? Can I still get by with a 6 inch duravent on a 38"? I' ready to start cutting for the 36 if I switch gears to the 38 I'll have re tool my layout etc...

    Also, my firebricks chip pretty easily on the edges - is this normal?
    Even on my garage floor they are very uneven I'm going to have to level/grid the edges a bit...

    Thanks

    Dick
