Re: Refractory Cement / Mortar

Sorry Dave..... Is there a tutorial for doing that on the FB site?

My build's going well and I've just finished the third ring of bricks in the dome above the upright "wall" bricks. This almost takes me clear of the entrance arch.

One aspect of the build has been a lucky "accident" when cutting all my bricks in half with a disc cutter. Because they're recycled bricks from an old bakery the width I needed for the dome was less than half the length of each brick so, when I cut the length I needed from each good end of the brick I was left with a little "biscuit" of brick which I could cut into firebrick shims. So I'd lay a brick in against the polystyrene former, butter it up and slip a firebrick shim in to keep it true. Works really well!

But the whole process is flying by the seat of your pants and thinking each step through to keep mistakes to a minimum.

Aiming to have the oven fired in gradually and cooking by 23rd August which is our Highland Games day here on the island.
One month in Turkey coming up too!

Kindest regards.... Mike
