Default Cinder and basalt in oven construction
Aloha from the Big Island of Hawaii.

I am interested in the pompeii oven and was wondering if anyone had any experience in using either volcanic cinder in place of pearlite or vermiculite, and/or basalt ("blue stone") in place of fire brick.

I live in hawaii, and brick is harder to get, and expensive, but basalt can be free, and cinder is $20 US a pickup load.

Thanks,

Kevin
