Hi all,
I’m new here and loving reading up on everyone’s WFO projects.
I’m planning my own build currently and doing lots of research. Just had a couple of questions that I was hoping people could help with.
I’m planning a base of two courses of block work on top of the concrete slab and then building up the base of my oven with sleepers and creating an internal chamber to use as a heat sink filled with bottles, Earth and sand and then cemented over. I’ll then top with fire bricks for the base of my oven.
I’ve read conflicting opinions on having a heat sink however and was wondering if this is the best approach?
For the dome of my oven I was going to use fire brick and fire cement, then a layer of clay and then topped off with a brick layer as I like the aesthetic of brick. Would this work?
Many thanks in advance!
