Busy weekend here.
I got a lot of work done.
Crawling into the oven to clean and point the joints took way longer than I expected Thursday, so I wasn't able to actually build until Friday evening after work.

Friday night I put up the vent arch

Saturday I put up the flue gallery and covered the dome with the remaining mortar mix.

And made sure the door fit

https://i.postimg.cc/SsKB37Nq/20200822_171632.jpg

Sunday I added two inches of ceramic fiber blanket for insulation, lashed it all down with chicken wire, and put on a waterproofing flashing
I also installed a thermowell through the brickwork so I can monitor oven temps when the door isn't in.

Thermowell is more visible here

All that's left to finish the oven is to put on a perlite shell over the blanket.
However, I need to get the granite for the stand cut before I can do this, so I can bring the shell over the granite and eliminate the seam.
Hopefully he doesn't take too long.

Thanks for the kind words, fellas.

Installed the landing in the front of the oven opening.
This will make the granite sit flush and make it easier to get food in and out.

I was Wonderding if you were going to do something like granite in front! You are going all out, and I would not expect anything less!!! Any plans for the cinderblock base:confused: Maybe some nice ledge stone, Brick or thin stone veneer to face!!!

Brick Veneer is the plan for the base. It ties in nicely to the granite and other stone I have in my yard.

I've finally finished with the oven construction.
Now I just have to finish the skim coat and brick veneer on the stand, do a series of curing fires. Once I'm done with that, I can paint the oven. :hn

Took some time to get the granite installed.
It finally went in last Sunday.

https://i.postimg.cc/y8nCvLNy/20200906-182912.jpg

Once the granite went in it was time to apply the perlite render shell.

https://i.postimg.cc/j5nVqK4M/20200907_120522.jpg

Once the shell was dry, I Installed the chimney and I was finally done with the oven part of this.

https://i.postimg.cc/Y9nBzxMs/20200913_090450.jpg

After a few days, I lit the first of a series of small curing fires.

I still have some work to do, but hopefully I'll end up cooking something by the end of the week.

I would have paid good money to see Dom, on his back, inside that teeny tiny opening putting the final touches on the interior of the oven. Why is there no video?

Used the tail end of one of the curing fires to cook a Lasagna.
Still a few fires away from getting it hot enough for pizza.

Re: Brick Oven Build (Pic heavy)
 
So, I never got around to doing the veneer on the stand last season, and had to cover the oven for the winter.
Finally got a window of warm temps and no rain which allowed me to get it done.
I just have to scrub the brickwork clean tonight and I'll finally be finished.
