| Hi I am in the process of getting all my materials up together to build a outdoor pizza oven. Can anyone help me with these questions. I am going build the pizza oven on steel frame with wheels (possibly angle iron), what would be the best and lightest material under the oven floor? and where would i purchase these items in Adelaide? I am going to build a domed clay oven, any tips and suggestions would be good. Leados |

| I am using FB Board on my 42" build. How important is it to keep it dry though out the build? Even if you cover it and get a good rain, some water could run under and get to the board. |

| You should keep it dry. It's OK getting it wet when you are putting it on wet concrete, or putting mortar on top of it -- it dries and stays strong -- but you can't let it stay wet, or it will break down. If you tarp it well, you should be fine. James

| Is there any benefit to putting a coating of mortar on the outside edge of the board once it's up, to "seal" the edge at all?

| Hi, I'm new to all this and am hoping to build my own oven sometime. Can anyone tell me which is preferrable for isulation - vermiculite, or fiberglass (or both) -- also is vermiculite essentially the same as perlite? Thanks, -Tom |

| Hello James, Love the Fire board as a floor insulation in lieu of vermiculite. would it be ok to use 4" of the Fire board? my concern is that the stats indicate a 10% shrinkage, so that means a 2" board would shrink by 1/4". is this ok with the heavy oven on it? also, should sand or anything be put on the fireboard before you set the firebricks? thanks! |

| Ciao Antonio, FB Board is definitely rigid enough to handle the weight of the Pompeii or FB precast oven -- a really large number have been installed that way. You can either set your bricks on sand, or on a bed of sand and fireclay (mix it with water and set it with a notched trowel). You tap your bricks to level with a rubber mallet either way. 2" will do it, though you can add a second layer if you would like. Here is the FB Board pdf brochure. Good luck! James
