A newbie’s survey of the Forno Bravo treasures hiding in the archives

Yea, you're really lucky to get them so cheap
Here in NJ, there's NO one to buy them from.

Thank you for this "Treasure" link--a ton of useful info in one post

Hi All,

Yep, Craigslist is very useful for finding materials. Something to watch for is that very few sellers know fire brick from beach sand. I answered several ads for "fire brick" that was nothing more than concrete pavers or regular clay building brick. The sellers said they were left over from building a fireplace "so they must be fire bricks....aren't they" ? LOL

Be careful and persistent, eventually your search will pay off with a nice find.

Cheers,

Thank you all for the help and giving the empowerment to carry on!

A thread with good feedback about what members here would do differently next time they build an oven is here. (If you had the chance to rebuild your oven, what would you change?)

Hello after doing the typical routine with home owners association and buliding inspector we are ready to start the Casa cg90 project. We are on the Washington coast and plan to build a water tight stucture covering the oven. Can we cure the oven inside the structure, we might have a problem finding a long dry window?

You will have to do the best you can. Call fornobravo for clarification (I'm assuming you mean a Casa 2g90 oven), I'm sure they have the experience you need.

Good Luck

I must have missled everyone, I am building a Casa 2G 90 not a Pompeii Oven. We are really excited the oven just arrived only one week from the order, way to go Forno Bravo. We will enclose the oven in a water proof structure. After I learn how to post pics of our build out I will get them on right away.
