Yes, please do include metric measurements! That would help a lot.

One thing I noticed is that on the firbrick primer page there is no mention of the bricks' dimensions. Required number, weight, alumina content is there, but if you live in a country where there is no such thing as a standard firebrick size, you still don't know what you're looking for.

Hello James,
new on the forum, just downloaded the instructions ang going through them...
On page 59 Ver. 1.2 of the book under Material List 36" Oven
it states:
(8) 10' lenghts of 1/2" rebar, (4) cut to 80"; (4) cut to 94"
the rebars are for the grid foundation...if the foundation is 71"x80" how come the rebars are longer? Am I missing something? thanks Carlo

On the Material list for a 42" oven for the insulating hearth listed is
(4)2"x6"x8' wood studs - i believe this should read 2"x8".

3.5 inches for concrete and 4 inches for vermiculite layer. on page 23 2x8 are referenced so it just needs to be changed on the material list.

It is a minor change but when you are first undertaking this project it is a little overwhelming, especially if this is the first time you have ever poured concrete .

Thanks ,
