Yes. I attached the foundation plans I drew up and used. Very close to the dimensions you gave. I added some length because my oven won't be connected to our patio. The dimensions worked out perfectly for my 42". You can look at the pics in my Picasa Album (linked in my signature below).

Is the 42' size brick oven perfect for most needs? Anyone know how many pies can fit in there at once? What's the opening size on the 42' oven?
|
Most everyone here agrees that bigger is better... and 42" is plenty BIG. You'll be surprised at how roomy it is when it's done. 42" oven is perfect for a small family or a BIG party.

I want it set up so when people are sitting under the arbor they can actually see the fire burning inside the oven or at least feel like they are part of the process.

You and I are planning a nearly identical space. My arbor construction begins this summer

Doesn't matter if my brick oven foundation is raised, does it?

That will look cool!

I was hoping to not have to pour two different thicknesses of concrete.

I'm going to vote for a 6" foundation under the oven. You can do the two thicknesses in one pour, just set up the forms for it. Your concrete guys have done it before (or we'll help you figure it out if you are doing the forms yourself).
Good luck, and be sure to start posting pictures when you break ground!
