Re: Lancer's Philippine Build, Close to Australia Anyhoo...
What do you suggest? I could just put a couple of inches over the brick, or something else... How thick is the refractory cement over your brick dome brickie?
Normal concrete. :b:

Thoughts guys?
Normal concrete outside of the insulation is fine.Last edited by brickie in oz; 05-03-2013, 07:01 PM.

Yes, I searched 'slaked lime' as you suggested and came up with some great vids, like this one. I now know all I need to about this process. :b: <--- I'm so used to a thumbs up that I just can't stop, sorry guys.

Usually modern stucco mix is portland based, with fine sand and polymers.
Thanks for the warning on modern stucco mix stonecutter, I did not know that. So with this knowledge and what brickie said I'm going to fire my own limestone. :b:

Question brickie. I plan to have 5" of refractory cement over the brick of the dome, then 12" of perlite lava rocks then 5 more inches of refractory cement. In your opinion does this outer layer have to be refractory cement or can it be normal stuff? Edit: Its that last 5" on the outside that gets the metal bar, far from the fire and holding the whole structure together. On doing calculations there's no way I can bring the floor up to the midpoint of the onion. That means the walls will have to tip out and the inside of the dome will be a bit high.

Make your own lime, you told us they are shipping lime out just metres from your home.
Its dead simple to make, just dont splash it in your eyes......
Burn the line in a fire then follow this vid. AKA slaking.
The fire drives out the carbon in the lime, when you reuse the slaked lime the lime adsorbes the carbon from the atmosphere and reconstitutes back into limestone, neat huh?
Yes this was my original plan and I think I'll go back to it. Also because of your vids and others I found after viewing it I now know more about the process. :b:

Once the holes are chipped the post foundations and post metal bar set and the posts poured it will be time for the table on which the oven sits. The whole table is going to be refractory cement and 7" perlite under the brick.
The refractory cement mix, see what you guys think...
1 Portland cement
1 red clay
1 stucco mix (can't find lime)
3 sand
Thoughts?
