Hello all,
I'm debating how best to lay the oven floor of my WFO. FB oven plans 2.0 (page 32) mention one way is to set the floor inside the oven dome (this is my preference). I am using Insblok-19 for my floor insulation (4x6x2" thick) so I can accomodate the dome on top of the floor if need be.
With floor inside dome, my brick floor plus Insblok-19 is 4.25" proud of the hearth. My first dome course will then be a soldier course, tall brick dimension standing.
Any pros/cons to this approach? I don't mind cutting my bricks to come up with a 1 meter diameter floor to fit inside the dome.
Any reason I should build the dome on top of the floor bricks? I'm not too worried about the weight of the bricks compressing the Insblok-19. It's pretty rugged stuff.
I'm looking for some compelling reason to go one way or the other
Thanks in advance for the advice!!
