Default Starting a 42 pompeii
The slab got poured the other day so I started lining out the block today. Have to work over the weekend. so will start mortaring on Monday. I have been reading the forum for three or four months now and I am as ready as i will ever be. It took quite awhile to find sources for all of the material. I got most everything lined up. Reminder to all the price of everything is going up because of fuel prices. Thank you all I will post pics. as I go along.

Thumbs up Welcome Bob :)
The oven stand is one thing I would change if I could go back and have a do-over. The member called SableSprings has the stand I would make if I could go back

What are your plans for the stand Bob?

I am going to make it 5 blocks high and leave it open at both ends. I will pour a lintel over each opening. I think I will use home brew mortar and perlecrete under the floor.

I've not seen another oven stand five blocks high. But, here is a picture of mine...

Bob, my stand is fine. I made it to support a barrel oven, then changed my mind after making the stand.....Didn't want to go to the expense, take the time or waste materials necessary to make a change at that time, so I just modified the hearth to fit the pompeii oven.

If I could start over, I'd do something like Sablesprings did:

He used the center section to approach the oven, and the sides to house two mobile pizza/firewood utility carts.
'Now, that's what I'm talkin' about!'

One more picture to illustrate the usefulness of a movable work surface for use during food prep.

I'm considering a cart like that to store under my oven.

Good luck Bob!

Thanks for the pics. I will Download a pic as soon as I can. I got the blocks all stacked and am ready to pour the voids. Should I leave a foot of rebar out so I can bend it into the hearth slab? We are having crappy weather wind and rain, so I work when I can. I think oven builders are a committed bunch, ah, for the love of pizza.
