Correct, two 1" coats then 1" ceramic blanket and topped with vermiculite ranging from 2" to 4".

Brickie, consider the cost of that oven as your tuition to the university of life, and the information gained as hard won knowledge

Is that layer serving as the underside of the dome a cast refractory?

Here is a the reverse build of my oven in preparation for a new oven that will live over the top of this base.

I built it as directed from a course I did on pizza ovens, obviously there isnt enough thermal mass on top to retain heat for any extended time.

Its a good learning experience.
