Hi, I'm throwing myself at this project and I'm way over my head. I'm building a 36" Tuscan style Pompeii from the "Build and Authentic Itailing Wood-Burning Oven" plans. I have limited framing and wood working skills, and have zero experience with Masonry, but I think if I take my time and stay patient I can conquer this thing (wishful thinking). I've already built my foundation and Block frame (photo attached) I plan on following the plans as close as possible and using Youtube videos as well. Are there things that I should avoid from these plans or will I get a decent product following those steps? One of the key pieces I'm deciding on, is insulating the Hearth with Fiber boards or cement and vericulite. It seems like the fiberboard is the way to go due to time savings and oven efficiency?
I'm in the process of purchasing FireBricks. Prices seem all over the board. What are people typically paying?
Any words of encourgment and advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Mike
