Wood fired oven corner build in Grafton NSW

Re: Wood fired oven corner build in Grafton NSW

Finished !!! ...the brickwork anyway.

I've added some decorative bricks to brake the front up a bit and I have them hanging an inch or so lower then the outer arch as I plan on adding a "smoke brake".




I've got my insulation ready to go.


Then the plan is to box it up with metal frame,blue board and then render.But I need to work out the flue first.

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.

Thanks for your imput Chip, Its about 2 meters from arch to the ceiling, do you know if length make any difference with the flue diameter?

Re: Wood fired oven corner build in Grafton NSW

Ok so I redid the outer arch.. long story short I wanted a "heat break" inbetween the outer arch and the dome and it wasn't going to work the way I was building it.
This also ment sacrificing the entry arch.

Sweet looking work. You will be very happy with that oven.

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.

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

Re: Wood fired oven corner build in Grafton NSW

Instant kick rail as well

Re: Wood fired oven corner build in Grafton NSW

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.

cost me 1/2 btle wine bud ..... hope this adds to the idea bin though
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
If that works for you or gets you more ideas.....well I'm glad to help.
regards dave
Sh%t just read this.......talk about disclaimers... must have been the wine .....glad the child bride drank the rest
