After all the "Ive got a crack in the dome" threads

After all the "Ive got a crack in the dome" threads, I thought I would add this, its probably been done before, who knows?

If you build an oven out of fire bricks whether it be a barrel shape or full domed shape, a few cracks wont make it collapse.

You could build the entire thing without mortar as long as you have lateral support to hold the thing together.

Have a look here for how it all works.
