 Re: Vent assembly cracking
Hi Marc,
Sorry about that. That is surprising and almost never happens (but you can never say never with brick ovens). Still, it is not too bad. Do you think any smoke is escaping through the vent pieces. If not, you might not have to do anything. If you want to tackle this, you should be able pack mortar around the vent and hold it together. I have to admit that I did a test installation of an oven (Casa110) that the freight company had dropped and completely broken into pieces -- just to see what would happen. We pieced all of the broken vent pieces together and packed it with mortar. That was two years ago and the oven is doing fine.
Of course if you want to replace the pieces, we will happily send them to you.
Let me know how it goes and what you think.
