My first oven is a success

I started another post in the picture thread because I thought it was better suited to that thread

That is very nice. I wonder if it could be made with a layer of insulation.

[TimmyNY]

I acually thought of getting 4 more pavers and some more bricks and making a insulation sandwich with some fire proofing insulation that I got from work. it is 1 1/2 in thick so it would be the same as the bricks

ppppppppppppp ppppppppppppp
BBBIIIIIIIIIIIIIIBBBIIIIIIIIIIIIIIBBB
ppppppppppppp ppppppppppppp

something like this where p=pavers, B=brick, and I= insulation

But the oven works so well I lost the ambition to acually do it



I also thought of building a frame around the oven with metal studs and covering it with cement backer board. You could put insulation between the oven and the backer board and then cover the board with either tiles or stucco or something similar.

my first oven was not that authentic. im making something new right now. since i have tried the kettled cooked potatoes, i made myself curious about cooking some delicacies with an authentic oven.
