42in Oven Build in Central NJ

[andrewe]

Hi all! I decided to make a build thread. I'm currently in college (20y/o) and this pizza oven is the passion project that I work on during the summer when I'm not at work. I guess I'll start with all the pictures I have so far and what I've done so far.

• Dug and Built concrete foundation
• Built oven base out of cinder block
• Concrete oven slab base
• vermiculite concrete insulating base
• Dome floor and beginning of opening arch

I want to know if you guys see anything I should be doing differently. Especially before I continue onto the dome. Some relevant info for where I am. The current bricks I have mortared are using the homebrew mix and the opening of the vent so far is around 3in and will be around 10in long.

Here's the album because I had issues uploading here.
