Default Re: Quest. re Aluminium inter layers.

My bet? It'll be fine. I don't think the aluminum will help, but I don't think the water vapor retention issue is significant once the oven dries out from construction.

In house insulation the vapor barrier is there because the interior is more humid than the exterior, and it keeps the insulation dry. Once you are above 212f (100c) retained humidity is about zero. Any H2O from the fire or dough is quickly exhausted up the chimney.
