Im about to start my first brick oven build and since I've never attempted any masonry work, I wanted to do it for a relatively low cost. If this build goes well, I plan to save up and do a real one based on the experience I have here.
I've seen a number of builds that include an inflatable excise ball, or bosu ball as the form for building the dome. Every build I've seen has been from heat tolerant concrete (actual name escapes me) and i've only seen firebrick included as the floor.
Well I have a bunch of firebrick so I was curious how well this would work, I imagine it would be too much weight for the ball to support as you got close to the top so I figured the "form" would collapse, hence the reason why I havent been able to find any such attempts.
Has anyone ever heard of, or saw a video or an attempt at anything like that?
Any help would be amazing! Thanks in advance!!
