Hi,
Some month ago,i started my build for a wood oven.
I choose pompeii style high dome oven for pizza and food cooking purposes.
I choose 36" because i don't need bigger one.

Some plans and perlcrete layer.
Ratio was 5:1 perlite/portland cement

Floor plates size: 50x25x6cm

I used calcium aluminate cement and samotte at ratio 1:3.

Last week i finished the dome coat with the same cement ratio that i used for the dome bricks.
I wait some days to naturaly cure and then i will start curing fires.

I made a video with stand base and perlcrete layer.

I will make the second part with dome construction.

Nice brickwork!

And nice looking floor tiles. Do you know the conductivity of the floor tiles?

Hi Case,
I will search for the conductivity values and I will post it if I found something

Thanks !

I use one of are Greek cats for that

Ooh...she made a little crack on it!

I presume You are going to use a insulated chimeney to pass through the wooden roof?

George_M · « **Reply #17 on:** September 17, 2016, 06:07:50 AM »

lol

I am thinking to use non insulated chimney to reduce the cost.
Also,the final height from the oven up to the roof will be almost 6m.
The more height the better vacum.So,i will not use insulated chimney.

Just finished my door.
I made a qucik door to put it for curing fires and then i will upgrade it to better view.

Uhhh.. But you can not pas through a roof without making the chimeney insulated or fireproof where it touches the roof. Otherwise you burn the roof down!
with just fireproof material separating the chimeney were it touches the roof "might" be a safe and cheap solution. But do Inform with a proffesional expert on that.
(By Vacuum, Do You mean the draft of the chimeney?)
