Hello everyone!
I'm in the research and planning stage for building a ~36” pompeii corner installation.
We have an existing 15'x15' concrete slab, but I’m considering adding more slab to the corner for the Wood Fired Oven / outdoor kitchen. I’m thinking that I don’t want to span the structure across the existing and future slab due to possible shifting / settling. I’m not sure if that should matter, but this thought led me to a stand design inspired by Sable Springs (“Dragonfly Den” https://community.fornobravo.com/mem...esprings/media)

I don’t plan on having a roof over top, so I know waterproofing will be important for the build. I’m still trying to source material in the Southeast Florida area where I live. I’ve reached out to Cemex for fire brick based on other forum posts, but so far that’s been a dead end.
I’m still assessing how practical it is for me to build something like this out. I’m pretty handy all around, but have very little masonry experience other than watching hundreds(?) of hours of youtube videos![Smile](https://community.fornobravo.com/core/images/smilies/smile.png)
Anyway, I just wanted to start my “build” thread and say hi. Any input / insight is appreciated.
