air gun ant 1,666 Posted June 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 Gonna cast a concrete top on it to fit the BBQ aswell and then start the oven 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mushroom 12,388 Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Clay is better and I may be wrong here but I believe concrete has to have a special treatment to prevent explosions 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
air gun ant 1,666 Posted June 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 There gonna be a firebrick base on top of the concrete so hopefully it'll be ok? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nik_B 3,790 Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Looking forward to seeing how this turns out Ant, we were talking today about making one of these Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mushroom 12,388 Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Be careful mate, I've seen a paving stone explode like a hellfire missile when used as a BBQ base 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Squeamish5 309 Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 I don't know anything about concrete, but I do know a man that does. Look up 'explosive spalling' if you're interested. Fire brick base / lining should be fine. PS Air gun Ant, that looks ace. I want one. Lookin forward to seeing the process / progress.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jok 3,036 Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 I'm watching you air gun , allotment, greenhouse, pizza oven and whatever next. Smoker might be a good thing to have with the oven. Lanark is certainly suiting you pal. Jok. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
