Cast dome keystone

[@ngeLCD]

I apologize if this has been asked/answered before. I tried to search before posting... Anyway, has anyone replaced the final course and keystone with a cast in place part? I figure rather than cutting a bunch of funky parts, it might be easier to brace a form under the almost completed dome and just cast in place the final ~10"ish diameter section. Any thoughts??

Thanks!

Yes, this has been done before...as a matter of fact melbourne ovens kits tell you to do that. I however like the brick look much better. Here is the link https://melbournefirebricks.com.au/w...ed-pizza-ovens their video on how to build their brick oven kit shows them pouring the dome keystone...the time on the video where it shows this is 4:30

Most folks have the hang of cutting bricks by that point and it's easier to just get it done than set up a whole new process. No reason it wouldn't work, but lack of patience would argue against it.
