As this oven build is being built as part of a bigger project, I didn't always have my camera handy to take stage pics (my mobile phone camera is pants so I don't use it).. I am nearing completion. There's still lots of finishing off to do and the ridge tiles aren't fixed yet either, until I can confirm the roof trusses have enough protection (used vermecrete between fire-brick chimney and joists/ridge board). The roof itself was a nightmare. I didn't quite get the side walls square with themselves so there was a lot of cutting involved to make the roof fit (normally I let the customer or a carpenter do the roof but I had to do it myself so it was a challenge) Chimney needs a pot on it and other bits and bobs will be finished off next Friday. Here's some pics of where I am now with the project.... Terry

Whoa boy! That looks amazing! You should have stepped out after two courses, rather than in!

Little update...26th October 2013. Still haven't finished the landing area of the oven, but as I was up there today decided to chuck in some wood and build a curing fire......it was really an excuse to try out my new toy (IR laser thermometer....) Managed to complete stonework to lower garage and swimming pool area.....next....the main house front.... Terry

that oven looks great Terry, the stone/ sloping roof is roughly what I have in mind for mine, though I'm a bit of a way off roofing yet... I have been trying to visualise the chimney: roof interface, what's that you've put between the chimney and the roof on this one?

Dave Not exactly sure what you mean but here goes..... The only thing between chimney and roof is lead flashing which was laid on the last course of the chimney bricks. It still has to be dressed over the face of the chimney. The roof trusses were self supporting, being fixed into the wall plate (4" x 2") timber laid on the side walls......and then butted and fixed to the ridge board (6" x 1") timber running along the top. This allowed me to keep the trusses away from the stack. On the lower part of the roof I just ran the roofing battons past the last truss to reach the side. Thanks for the comments guys, but this challenge ukwoodfiredovenforum.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=ceovens&action=display&thread=1580 may prove a more demanding task. Terry

Hi Terry, that is what I meant really. It wasn't clear to me that it was lead flashing but the fact that it's not dressed yet explains it. I was a bit thrown by it looking the same colour as the blue slate on the pics. It goes some way to answering a couple of questions I had asked myself about whether lead and timber could be used in an oven roof, as they would on a normal one. I wasn't sure about these two materials in proximity to an oven but presumably, if the insulation is adequate it's not an issue

Dave
On top of the oven dome was 50mm insulation blanket. I think the trusses should clear the blanket with at least a 4" gap. In all honesty, the minimum gap on mine was 2". The void was then filled with loose vermiculite. The ridge board was very close to the chimney....perhaps 3/4" away, so I made sure there a vermecrete layer (vermiculite, cement and water) squeezed between ridge board and chimney. The ridge tiles are still loose...i.e not fixed and will probably stay that way, but it does give me a chance to lift up the roof tile next to the chimney after a curing fire and check if the timber is protected.....it is. Just as well as the curing fires now are ...."go for it firings"....and I'm putting some serious heat into the oven.......still haven't baked anything in it yet......it's on my "to do" list.

Just an addition to this thread......the build was not strait forward and the oven was placed on a solid "banking". I haven't come across this before and needed advice on waterproofing and insulating the dome from the solid ground below. Liam from kilnlinings.co.uk/ (I always buy my refractory products from him)....came up with some good advice to make sure I had a channel at the rear of the oven to divert any holding water away from gathering at the base of the oven and after laying a poly membrane use Cal-sil board wrapped in silver foil ....in place of my normal insulation blocks laid on flat to reduce the risk of any rising damp.......in all honesty...the system works perfect.....Thank-you Liam.

6"x1" ridge, really? I thought I might put a piece of steel as the ridge. As you say, everywhere else should have a pretty thick insulation layer, but it seemed to me that a steel ridge could be built right into the chimney. hopefully this would give some good rigidity to it as well as not having to worry about the effect of heat.

The steel will conduct into the roof if its too integrated into the chimney, dj.
Best try to create an insulated flue, with either twin wall or single wall with a brick skin and vermiculite backfill.
