Re: Canada forum?

Nice planning with the garage. No weather and you can burn the midnight oil. I started my build this spring and have been rainded out several days. You will have no worries moving your oven with your back hoe. I would recommend a 36 inch. Don't go to fast and let the courses dry and make sure to make the angle cuts for each brick. Cut the sides of each brick and the bottom for the angle. About 1/2 inch on each side and 1/2 inch for the bottom your angles will increase after the 5th or 6th course as the slope increases. You will be happy with using less morter and it will dry much faster than filling the caps with morter. You will defiantly need a indispensable tool.

Coasterbouy, my build took alot longer than I had planned, but I didn't have machinery or experience, all my mud was mixed by hand in a barrow, some 16 or so bags for the hearth... Building in the shop would remove the elemental affect which at best is challenging. I have no experience with moving an oven and what cracking damage it could sustain. I was a weekend warrior and had it usable within two and a bit month. So with solid commitment and machinery advantage I'd say giver and you should/could be golden.

Look forward to hearing and seeing photos of the build.
Best of luck

Re: Canada forum?

Hello fellow Canadians.
Started my build a couple days ago and planning to cater a wedding on Aug 11th. I do have a backhoe, some limited masonry experience and a fairly well equipped machine shop, but Is that blindly optimistic? My plan is to pour the pad and bottom tray onto a metal stand on the same day, build the oven in the garage and move it with a loader on to the pad once it has dried. Crazy? not going to work?

Hi Jer_vic, good to know there is an outdoor oven man on Van Island. I am on the Sunshine Coast BC and would like to talk to you as I am also in the middle of a cast project. I am using a product called Moldit-X for the refractory. Would be interested in what you used in your build and what you plan to use for the castable project. Send me a private message if you are interested in some local materials talk.

Re: Canada forum?

Count me as another Canadian, in Victoria, BC. I've built one oven, and then moved.

Now moving again, to 2 acres of semi-rural property, and feeling compelled to build another oven, maybe using castable refractory material.

Anyone in Victoria want info on where I purchased materials for my original oven (built along the lines of the plans/ideas from "The Bread Builders") let me know.

Tim, Don is a little wild with his European players. I have a very close friend that played with the Senators, he has since retired 2 years ago. I have had the pleasure of meeting Daniel Alfredson. Absolutely great guy !!.

Re: Canada forum?

OK , by my count [and math is not my forte] we have 17 Canuks on this thread.. Not that many ,I expect there are more on FB, but we Canadians are shy and polite .. unless that is, you need an enforcer on your hockey team .. Is 17 enough for our own regional group ?

Re: Canada forum?

A Canadian forum sounds like a nice idea. Sourcing out materials that are easily available in your local region and user technical feedback on these materials would be a huge bonus. I am on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia and would check in on a regular bases to a Canadian based forum for sure.

Re: Canada forum?

Canadians have unique circumstances such as availability of supplies,I think our own forum would be great
