A wet blustery day in Sydney today - kids soccer and rugby cancelled this morning which meant I had some time to get the clay pavers onto the Portable Pizza Oven base.
About 38 clay pavers in total, cut them using a hired wet saw. Cemented them to the Hebel layer using fireproof cement, a hideously expensive item at 25 bucks a pot - I used two, but really not convinced it’s needed - I wonder if mortar might have done the trick. Decided on a protruding lip at the oven door end.
Next step is to rough out the actual oven shape. This is proving to be a conundrum. By necessity the design is narrower than I would have liked, which is why I made it a wee bit longer. Of course this is going to make for a bunker-like oven (I wanted to be able to get 2 pizzas in at once too).
Time for a bit more research…
