Today I had a late shoot at work (I'm a producer at WQED) so I thought work a bit on the oven. I went to Home Depot and got those rings that tighten because the plan is to make the chimney out of two halves of terracotta roof tiles. I got the tiles at Construction Junction, if you are from Pittsburgh you know this place has so much cool construction discards and occasionally new stuff. In fact, a good bit of what I used to build the plinth is from Construction Junction.
Ok--- more stuff I did or didn't do today...I didn't place the chimney yet because I have to build up the sides to the arch. I am hoping to get this done in the next few days so I can start the insulation layer. Then... it will be close to firing the oven up.

Yeah I did fire the oven up earlier this summer (see previous post) and it caused some cracks that had me worried---I have since patched those cracks ---next time I plan to go slow-- doing at least three low heat curings. (around 350 degrees)
