You might want to stay away from the pretzels.
Usually the handle breaks, and they fall all over the floor.
We pick them up, put the box in front of Roger, and merrily giggle as he stuffs his pie hole.

Got some work in on Saturday, but Sunday was a washout with rain, so I haven't finished the dome yet.
It was a little slow going as the walls got steeper because the bricks want to fall in.
I had to wait a few minuets for each brick to set, and use some wood to prop them up and hold them in place.
I'll be using a domed fiberglass form for the next few rows to prevent this.
I also botched the section where the ring crosses over the entry arch for the first time.
I didn't build it up enough, and turned my ring into a teardrop.
Of course I didn't notice until after the bricks had set up so it took some time to fix.
I had to build up and shape up the mortar in that spot to get the next row back in a ring.

You can see the dip here. The brick that is in the tool, and the one to the right of it

Back to a ring

You can see here how steep the sides are getting.

Where I'm at currently

Nice, Dom. As for your issues with the dome, Filippo Brunelleschi had the same one when he built the dome for the Florence Cathedral. But he solved that in the mid-15th Century, so you have no excuse.

Wow! That's getting more and more amazing. The Taj Mahal of backyard ovens.

Snook · 08-17-2020, 04:19 PM

Amazing build man! Can't wait to see pics of that oven in action.

jonumberone · 08-18-2020, 02:07 PM

I've finished the dome.

Inserted the fiberglass form which is held in place with a car jack.

Working up the dome

And then poured my keystone with refractory castable.

Once the keystone is set hard I get to remove the form and crawl in the oven on my back to clean and point the joints.

Going to spend the time waiting for the castable to set building up a landing around the door for the granite to sit on.
Still have a lot of work to do, but the hard part is done.

BigAsh · 08-18-2020, 02:22 PM

Sooooooo...what's a "carjack"??

markem · 08-18-2020, 02:09 PM
