I am a landscape gardener and i have previously built two wood fired ovens but that was 10 years or more ago. Now i have been asked to build another one but i cant find any pre cast domes for sale! There are several company's selling pre cast insulated domes but, i just cant see the point of that at all and my customer most definitely wants a high mass dome with outside insulation. Does anyone know where i can but a pre cast high mass dome in the Uk? Thanks Fox.

Vitcas seem to be the supplier of choice judging by the number of builds on here, but I’m sure other suppliers are around.

Thanks, I did not find that one, I will have to contact them for more details as i cant see how many components it is made from? It still surprises me how few are available and not one is a true dome shape or has a six’’ chimney!

Edit... I found the info i needed and in fact the main dome is in two parts and the chimney exit is 8’’, quite a bit cheaper than the Victas but it is impossible to know if it is better value From just the pictures.

Hi Barry, this one looks ok www.woodovenwarehouse.co.uk/product/amalfi-wood-burning-oven/#mouth-arch but it is impossible to tell just from the photos . The Victas one only has a 4 inch chimney outlet . I built my own mold a few years back and managed to produce 6 domes but the last one got stuck and i had to break my mold to get it out . However I have been asked to build another one so i have not decided if i will repaire the mold or buy a ready made one. I have started the base work so i will have to make a decision soon. My own design, take apart mold, made a true dome shape from 3 rings and a one piece arch and cost around £300 to make each one in materials including burn out fibres and steel needles.
