Hey all, oh yeh, disregard my username, i have no idea who that is, my registration stuffed up when i signed up, i'm trying to get them to help me sort it out (if they answer the emails). My username should be "Aussie Pete".
Now,....where were we...oh yes, could anyone help me with some suppliers or tradies that could help with a few materials i'm trying to source for my oven, i live on the gold coast and am after some calcium silicate board (or the equivalant) for the making of an insulated oven door.
Also with my build (which is a sand castable dome with firebrick floor and will be about 36-38" with a 19" opening, i'm just wondering about the hearth just outside the pizza oven opening. I am going to use sandstone tile work around the base and just in front of the oven opening ( which will all be flat, as in no step up or down into the oven floor, do i need to put in some sort of insulation padding or just leave a small gap?, (to help with the stresses of the oven floor moving from heat to stop the sandstone from cracking, (will the sandstone be ok with this kind of decorative front.
Sorry i have no pics as yet, i will try and get some on here so you guys can have a better look.
These sandstone tiles are about 30mm thick and are a really beautifull rainbow type of colors in the stone, will look really nice once i have sealed them to help bring out there colors. They are tiles i have acquired on the cheap and thought they would look really nice surrounding the oven.
Pics to come soon peoples...
I hope i have explained myself well enough, ask away if you need more info, hopefully some pics will also help you with it.
Its been raining like crazy here for the last 4 days, cant wait to get out and do more.
I've been busy searching on this forum for ideas and help, and have to say, the pizza ovens on here are awesome, i've checked out karangi's and Brickie in Oz build and think they are both fabulous, oh yeh Brickie....that gargoyle you have on top....."love it".
