Hello all my name is lance and i found this site a few days ago and im gonna build an oven! I have been a cook(chef) for about 11 years and have used two different ovens during this time. As all here will agree the food coming out of them is second to none.I also have building experience and friends with all kinds of skills, and huge set of.........hands.
Well on with my question, i just wanted to run by my insulation plan on my barrel oven design. I want to;
1. place heavy duty foil over the brick
2. place ceramic fire blanket over the foil
3. place chicken wire or such over blanket
4. a thick layer 8-10 cm of perilite/verculite (spelling?)
5. stucco scratch coat
6. stucco finish
Is this god, bad, ugly........discuss.
