Restaurant Brick Oven- Part Two

All bricks for floor and dome are staged for the oven build

The second part of building a large oven involves laying out the floor, first on the concrete slab, then the insulating slab, and lastly the herringbone pattern of the floor itself.

The forms have been stripped.

The mouth of these ovens scribe a tangent on the interior diameter.  Laying out the lines on the concrete slab allows for adjustments and for placing the flue directly under where the chimney will be built.

4" Foamglas block insulation covers the concrete and the lines for the floor bricks are scratched into the surface.
