Oven Floor and Walls

Next up was the oven floor, this is what the fire is built on and where the food is cooked.  It is made of firebricks.  After a few different layouts to see what would go where, I set the floor in place using a mixture of fire clay and sand.


Nothing was used on the sides of the brick.  Any pattern can be used for the floor.



Again, a few dry runs for making the walls before using a refractory mortar to hold it in place. The walls are firebricks.
I wasn't the neatest with laying bricks, but not bad for someone who never set a brick before in his life.
