 Re: Little Confused?? When to cure oven? Bsically both methods work fine, so I think you should do whatever suits your time schedule and inclination best... I fired mine up without insulation because I was in a race against the incoming Winter and it all cured perfectly well with only very minimal cracking.

| Re: Little Confused?? When to cure oven? Keeps the heat in the brickwork. Apart from driving out moisture, curing is also the final firing of the refractory mortar. |

| Re: Little Confused?? When to cure oven? Incoming silly question: When you say things like "there will always be cracks", are these cracks along mortar joints? We're not talking about cracks in the brick are we? The Refmix I used seems stronger than brick, so I can't imagine a crack but I just want to know if these small hair line cracks are usually just in the mortar. Thanks, Dino

The cracks (usually) appear where the mortar bonds with the brick. If they are small, no worries. Les...
