      A small fire will help, if you can resist the temptation of overloading the oven. Many could not! The briquettes alone will work if done correctly. The first few starter fulls will have to be fully fired before placement inside the oven. As the drying advances, they can be partially fired since the draw of fresh air from the oven has been established to feed the burning coals. Once the oven gets hotter a door can be placed partially closed, the draw will still fire the coals with O2 and it will hold more of the heat in. I haven't seen the blast door concept mentioned lately. But this was mine that I used during the drying process. The temp guage helped a lot ito keep up with the progress imo.

        I just ordered one online from there its $19.99 plus $5.00 shipping..I don't have one of those stores by me so I had to order it like this but $5 shipping not too bad.

          Gulf ... Joe, regarding that Oklahoma fire starter ... I'm assuming you removed the handles, or at least the parts of the handle that are other than metal? Yes?? Thanks

            Ricky,
            That is still a good deal imo. There unreputable people reselling them on Amazon and Ebay for much more.

            John,
            Yes, both the handle assemblies are easy to remove. I reinstal the side handle from time to time for use on my regular charcoal grills. My intentions were to remove the wood portions and leave the metal portions of the hanles in place. But, I haven't gotten around to that yet.

                I honestly don’t know because vermicrete is not absorbing water as the calcium silicate boards, if the concrete hearth is flat and leveled you don’t have to worry about any water stagnation under the oven. But you can find many solutions on this forum
