Oven Floor


Sand Layer and Firebrick Floor:  As Picture 5 shows, I have left about an inch for sand layer on which the firebricks will rest.  This layer makes it a lot easier to level the firebricks.

Many web sites recommend laying the firebricks at 45 degree angle.  I believe that is the correct way to lay firebricks to minimize the possible catching with the Pizza Peel.  However that requires cutting the bricks at angles.  I choose not to do that; effort vs. reward debate.

I am very pleased with the way floor turned out.  I tapped the bricks with the rubber mallet while checking for level constantly.  Additionally, I ran my hand over the bricks and felt for any "lips".
