Hi, thanks for the coments have now cast the harth base see pics and working on my vermiculite base. Contacted www.woodfire-gourmet.co.uk to see about the dome but they are not casting any just now as they are having some time off. So have read somemore and i am gojng down the homebrew mix route. Have bought some fireclay, cement, hydrated lime and sand to go with a 1,1,1,3 mix. Can someone please clarify is this ratio based on volume or weight? How long do you get to work with a mixed batch? Should you mix smaller batches as you go or mix a bigger batch? Have worked out i need 105kg in total for a 750mm dome 50mm thick 0.89M2 area if i have done my mathes right. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Dave, thanks for taking the time to reply have been doing a bit more reading and i think i might go down the route of castable refractory or go the whole hog and buy a dome from www.woodfire-gourmet.co.uk looks a good solid product. Have put 50 x 50mm angle iron in and got some old roofing sheet cut to allow me to pour the base at he weekend. See pictures

HI All, my name is Alan. Just started my build in June after reading alot about ovens on hear and other sites for the last few years. Have cast my base built my four walls with dense blocks and completed the wood store arch. Was going to go down the route of casting vermiculite dome over sand or a gym ball but after getting to this stage i am now wondering if this is a good idea??? Have put a few weeks work in (nights & weekends) to get to this far. Has anyone had good results with this method and how long has your oven lasted?
