 Re: Alternate firebricks for domes
Wow cirioca, that is very impressive work. I actually already own a 36" diameter dome oven of my own design which I use at least weekly. There are pics of it in (dmun's geodesic oven thread)To be honest Im not yetsure what Im going to build from the bricks., I can never refuse a bargain. If I get better at making bread It would be cool to build the 5'X5' barrel design as a huge bread oven.
In response to the insulating question: There are insulating firebricks, which can be high duty, they are white and weigh approx. 4# each. These are extremely dense and weigh11#. The refractory expert I talked to said they are often used as a heat sink. If anything I would be a little worried about them giving up storing and giving up too much heat (longer heating times, longer wait to get to bread temps. |
