Hello from Gatwick area

[gavin]

Hi All - thought i would join this forum as i think  i may get expert advice on my new build. I plan to build a smoker oven with adjacent drill, both fuelled separately. So many questions.......

• Can i use Celcon blocks (external render finish)
  
• What is the thinnest insulation i can use
• Who makes stainless steel doors

yadda yadda yadda.......

Anyway its a high from me, I know I am not building a pizza oven but still home I can gain some support in the design and materials on my block-work smoker.

Cheers

Gavin

Gavin-

-celcon blocks absorb water, I'd avoid and go for dense concrete aggregate blocks;
- most sites seem to say 50mm of fireblanket or more if using vermicrete etc;
- try googling steel fabricators, sure there will be one nearish Gatwick,

Thanks for the advice, what about lining the inside with say 36mm firebricks bonded to the inside of the concrete blocks?
