Paul's Brick Oven 2001

Brick Oven Base

After the slab had cured for about 2 weeks I began setting the base of the oven with cinder blocks. The walls formed by the blocks not only serve to create storage for wood but also raise the oven up to a comfortable working height.
The walls are 4 blocks wide by 4½ blocks deep. There will be an opening at the front which is 3 courses high, with the 4th course supported by angle iron.
