hi i just built a table top out in my garden read for a lovely WFO for a manly pizza dome oven style,with fire brick base and ver/cement slab under that all on-top my table top of slabs, and wondered what advice you guess have for and against the dome part as reading on here ive changed the plans for this oven already from quarry tile floor to fire brick. so my question is do i make the dome its self out of clay? clay and brick? brick and home-brew mix ? just brick and fire cement ? or refact cement ? there is a couple of other ways im sure just cant think right now but yes any help id be very great full.
thank you all for you time i look forward to any input
cheers

Essentially there are a number of factors those being; time, money, aesthetics, space. ukwoodfiredovenforum.proboards.com/thread/1118/building-own-wood-fired-oven |

cheers for the link paul believe its the 2nd time round;) but cudnt find anywhere, in that either times ,about people doing clay inter and brick outter layer other then the classic it cob but thats got straw to make it stick and add struc.... i spent all week reading up and down, either people do it and dont write about it or they just use the one brick or clay. i have now set my hearth and built 3 thin ish layers on top and am hopeing to make a hme brew fire motor to stick the clay and outside brickes together.. either way thank you again  was going to brick layer it today but its very grey and wet :S darn |

I'm confused to what your proposing. It sounds to me like your thinking of doing an inner clay dome with an external brick weather shield? This has been done before and normally has an insulation layer between the two. You shouldn't need to join the two layers together as both should be self supporting. Also they would expand at different rates as the oven heats up so a physical connection between the two could cause cracking issues!
The only other thing I can come up with that you might be suggesting is a single dome part built from clay and part from brick. I'm not sure this would work so well.
Do you have photos of what you have done and/or sketches explaining the plan (you could do these roughly on paper and upload a photo of it)? This would make it a lot easier to see what you are trying to achieve.
