Hello everyone!




I have made a circolar concrete slab of 137cm diameter to support dome + entrance. This is the maximum space I can work with including dome insulation, rendering, etc.




I have calculated 86cm internal diameter for the oven.




86cm internal diameter

+

11cm brick thicknesses (each side)

+

10cm ceramic blanket (each side )

Held together by chickenwire

+

4cm external finish (each side)




Total oven diameter:

86cm+ 22 + 20 + 8 = 136cm







My questions:

———




1) does it work for you?




2) Will the entrance & cimney fit in this space? I see many builders adding the entrance way outside the dome perimeter... but I am not sure I have space for this.




3) what could be an ideal size for the door of an 86cm dome ( width /height )
