Default Re: High Heat Loss

Tell us more about your oven - have any pics?

What form did you follow?

Rough guess is it sounds like you need more insulation if it is not holding the heat. Is the underside of the oven warm after you have fired the oven? Is the dome of the oven warm to the touch after you have fired the oven? If the answer to one or both is yes then you will need more insulation.

Did you use fire brick or insulating fire brick? - there is a difference? If you brick is insulating fire brick then it will not hold the heat?

we need more information

welcome aboard
