Wood fired oven corner build in Grafton NSW

Re: Wood fired oven corner build in Grafton NSW

I could have a bit of a problem with the outer arch, I only have enough space left on the base for one brick length.

Is this to short for an outer arch?

Hi Wayne

I think Karangi used only one brick length with his landing. But he did have a decorative face from memory. Check out his build.

I am planning the same one brick length landing but with a half brick decorative face same as house bricks I have had sitting there for 13 years. I have also found a stainless steel fabricator to fabricate a stainless face to the front of the oven landing should I decide not to go with the house brick face.

What size is the Oven ? I am looking at 8" double skinned flue for a 1m internal oven. Doing similar to Utahbeehiver for his flue. Yes I know that poses a problem with a single brick landing being around 9" deep. But I will figure it out.

You could flare the front landing which is what I am doing. That would give you some more options and a wider landing at the front.

No you have more ....just eyeballing one of you previous pics you can start your entrance outside the oven entrance. The insulation will be tight but what the heck there are heaps of ovens out there with no insulation gape to the entrance at all. That way you will get 1 and 1/2 brick to play with.
Advantages I can see ....your chimney can be position directly over the oven entrance. The outer entrance will be then 1/2 brick larger than the oven entrance great for operating the oven definitly not cramped.
Throw a 8 in chimney on that it will suck the Crome off a "56" Chevy.
It you can't see this by the words I've written and I will make up a drawing to make it clearer

Its only an idea ( if it works I dont actually "own it").....if it looks bad ask youself why......could help you figure out what actually looks good?
If you dont think it would work.....figure out why it doesnt work ...... you 1/2 way there to solving what will work for you

Space for my arch problem solved!

I just added hebel blocks to create a bit more of a landing and now have enough room for the outer arch.

Re: Wood fired oven corner build in Grafton NSW

Re: Wood fired oven corner build in Grafton NSW

Sorry I probably should have said kick board.....eg. where your toes go when you are standing at a bench.

Re: Wood fired oven corner build in Grafton NSW

Ive thinking about ordering my flue I can get a galvanised flue for $20 bucks a meter.
I know gal isnt pretty to look at but the whole flue is going to be covered anyway.
Also I notice everyone seems to be 8" flue's.My concern is that this to big and will suck the hot air out of the oven, can someone shed some light on the subject?

Galvanized is not a good solution it will rust out quite quickly. Stainless is a much better solution. If protected stainless liner with double wall galv outer will work but all stainless is better. If you are going to have a single wall then stainless or clay is the only way to go. Clay liners are quite inexpensive.

A flue that is to small will cause smoke to come out the front. These ovens originally had no flue and adding one helps direct the smoke - fumes away from the cook.

I have a 42 inch oven with a 10 inch and it burns nicely. No smoke in my face and heats easily within 90 minutes to pizza temps.
