First time builder of barrell vault design based on Forno bravo. Have read posts reccomending the first two rows of fire bricks in main chamber be dry stacked. What is the reason for this? A commercial retailer told me to mortar everything. Confused Digga Don Tassie

Should the first two rows be mortared in barrel vault design?

I suggest you look at Karangi Dude's thread, he recently did a new hybrid barrel design and from Aussie land. Also I believe Tscar did a nice barrel as well.Russell

The front and back walls of a barrel oven or kiln should be built under the vault rather than beside the vault. The expanding vault has a tendency to push the walls out. The usual method of holding these ovens together is steel bracing.Kindled with zeal and fired with passion.
