Hello everyone. 12 years after the last reply here I was wondering if there is still any activity. Looking to get the oven started this spring/summer. Cheers!

I'm way down south in Windsor. I used to live in the valley and loved it. Winters on the other hand?

In all seriousness, who uses firewood more than Canadians? The city of Victoria has over 100,000 wood chimneys alone.

Re: Canada forum?

Yes using a Forno Bravo 36" kit. So they send them pre cut. That would be sweet but I suppose it would be difficult for them to do that with so many dome variations..... Looking at the pallet it appears they are not cut. My build + new pics of poured hearth and 16x20 pad are here 36"w/ Steel Stand, 2-3 Week Build - Page 2 - Forno Bravo Forum: The Wood-Fired Oven Community

Re: Canada forum?

Coasterbuoy, did I read you are using a FB kit? ..you may not have to cut too many bricks .. I used a combo of heatstop 50 [self hardening refractory cement] for the inner inch between bricks and backed up with mortar fill . The dome was one of the faster jobs on my oven. you will want to parge with mortar too , but if your enclosure is not too elaborate [ and you don't have -30 to deal with] you should have time . As has been remarked you can burn the night oil and not lose any time to rain [which I hear you have a lot of this year] ..

Re: Canada forum?

The angle grinder is absolutely awful for cutting each brick. The dust is crazy and it's takes forever to make a cut. A wet saw cuts like a warm knife through butter !! It's fast, clean cut lines, no dust and generally safe. Remember your working in your garage keep it simple. Have your saw beside your bricks inside your garage. You can work late at night with no rain. If use your grinder you will have to make your cuts outside and keep moving bricks in and out of your garage. Make sure your wet saw can make a deep cut through the bricks, most tile saws don't cut deeper than 3 inches so you will have to flip the brick to complete the cut when you cut ech brick for your arch.

Re: Canada forum?

Thanks for the tip re cuts. I was planning on loading up the
morter.... But way more cutting = more bricks, does the FB kit come with enough?If not GTA source for more? I guess I'm going to have to bite the wet saw bullet (did a bunch of slate in the winter with angle grinder was thinking same for fire bricks) I'll do a search for best suited saw on the forum. Form for kitchen pad /oven ready, rebar wire in the AM and concrete truck ETA tommorow before lunch! Tonight burning midnight oil indeed. A pile of steel needs to become a stand with form and rebar by AM. Posting pics, drawings and SW files for all to share here http://www.fornobravo.com/forum/f6/3...tml#post133918
