Need some expert advice

[peter67]

Good afternoon gents. And I would like some advice I decided some months ago to have a pizza oven in my garden. I'm not a good DIYer as far as building oven or oven bases so I bought one already made...(from Portugal) the mosaic one with inset in clay (to be more specific)
The local builder build the base but unfortunately he build just the wall to support the oven but not a base. So the oven sits on 3 small walls. On his own pre made base. (does it make sense?) See pix.
I fired and cooked in the oven now multiple times and I noticed that the base get quite hot.. around 50-60 degree Celsius and it looses the heat very fast from the base... is there anything I can do to insulate better the base without removing all together the entire oven.?
Maybe put some insulation boards below the prefabricated base?
What would you do to remedy the problem...
Any information will be greatly deceived





Thank you very much

‘Ceramic Board’ underneath should work well. Victus sell it & other fire/heating stores should as well

The base of my oven sits in a steel pan, under the floor bricks I have 25mm of vermiculite board and while mine gets to 60c below the oven the floor stays nice and hot.
