So i did the back and front walls of the oven then coated the whole thing with its first layer of verm.
Now ive started on the front smoke catcher slash tray warmer. The oven itself sits about 1cm off the front boxed section so hopefully it is alowwed to move without cracking.....
One more arch in the front and im almost getting somewhere.

That's cool! However, I've always learned that cement requires moisture in order to harden and hardening it in dry conditions will cause it to be brittle. Perhaps it depends on the kind of cement used, but with regular cement, I only know that when building something, it's best to keep the structure moist (e.g. by spraying it with water a few times over the first few days) in order for the cement to cure properly. I'd be very hesitant to fire the oven yet.

Yep cheers.
You're absolutely right...the longer you can let it cure from wet the stronger itll be. Its a 4 1 and 1 mix sand,cement,lime.
The oven itself has been up for about a week now.
Ive only lightly fired it and intend on building up very slowly.....your post is hat i needed to pull my head in a bit....i my hold off for.a bit longer...thanks.
With the dome itself there is very little actual mortar id say qaurter barrow at most. They are effectively dry stacked.....but the bottom courses have the normal amount.

Due to the volume of the structure, I think it's a good idea to let it cure or at least two weeks before applying any heat from a fire to it. The cement needs to set and the moisture needs to dissipate from it, otherwise you risk steam bubbles forming and that's probably not good for structural strength
BTW, I love how it has all come together, it looks really great!!

You're like a real version of the sensible dude sitting on my left shoulder arguing with the dude on my other shoulder that usually says just do it.

Oh trust me, there's always a bigger part of me that's the dude on your other shoulder, but I suppose that part of me is mostly busy whispering all of the wrong stuff into my own ear

Front smoke catcher brickwork done. On top something similar in shape to range hood up to a circular flue. Still undecided as to what material to use copper or stainless lead the voting.
The roof ive decided is going to be recycled tin fence from the next place i see it....little bit rusty preferably.
i like the idea of the flue and hood being really clean edged and chic against the roughness of the brick and the finish of the roof.
jasmine to be planted right at the back with the hopes it takes hold.
As for the fire....i couldnt wait any longer ive started small and all.seems good.

Nice job.
were you looking for input on the metal? Obviously if you go with copper,ss it will look great. Another idea would be to concentrate on the cool hood/flue build with solid lines and big rivets that really stand out. IMO the copper and ss will be discolored and grimey in no time and has the potential of pissing you off when ever your cooking and showing off your sweet skills? It would me. Indoor you could most likely get away with that.(Staff cleaning the equipment nightly), High temp black spray,intricate metal fab on the hood? Just opinion,not insult.
NoByo: i'd be all over that invite.

Whenever you're ready Kim Jong, is there a pizza night before the end of picking season? Or is this going to be a summer thing?

Cheers. Yep inputs great.
If i were to go these finished metals its the discoloration im sort off after....if ive built the smoke catcher right the blackening should happenn out of sight.
Im with you though ive toyed with just building a brick chimney or going matt black metal or render.
Id like to incorporate a bit of rendering into it as its my trade but in running out of excuses.

First meal cooked. Potatoes and Pork belly. Excellent, pork done in 20 minutes potatoes took a smidge longer.
I'm calling the oven cured now. Next firings all the way up to pizza temps.
No cracking or flaking of any type so far.
The top of the dome outside was quite warm to touch when it was cranked up. I expected warmth not heat. I'm losing alot of energy and will need to pack on more insulation. Other than that red gum.flavored food
Photos to come post pizzas.
Though they will also be post tripping so we shall see.
