What type of insulation should I use if my in-wall oven is installed?

It is a beauty, we finished the brick oven.Thanks again for your help.The internal cooking part worked well for me.The fumes are pulled out by the hood.

We made some pizza's last week and they were delicious.I will be testing out recipes for bread and slow cooked turkeys just in time for Thanksgiving over here.

I would like to run by you first, though I have a couple questions.I wonder how to protect the oven from the water around the base since it is in a raised garden bed.Would it be possible to paint it?Is it necessary to insulate the walls and seal them against the seasonal elements?

There are a few finishing touches to be done.My father-in-law has been helping a lot.I try to keep him supplied with materials most of the time, because he loves this type of work.

It has been enjoyable to work on this.I would like to thank you personally for all your help.I could write a lot about this project, but I want to tell you a little about the materials we used.The original fire brick is 9′′ x 4.5′′ x 3′′/2.5′′.It was very difficult to cut them because they were a special type of fire brick.The standard ones sold at a building materials supplier were used for the front arches.They are 9′′ x 4.5′′ x 1.5′′.

My brother is going to be making a door with a temperature in the front for the oven.He has been looking into insulation and has decided to fill some sheet metal to fit the entrance.

I want to check out the oven as it is right now.I hope I can make a delicious dinner for my inlaws before they head home.

It was a lot of fun.I miss working on the oven now that my family life is almost over.It was enlightening to learn about the cement mixes, bricks and blocks.I will build a cover to enjoy all the oven delicacies we will be making with family and friends.I have been in the bio tech science scene for 10 years now, and I am fortunate to have worked for the same company for as long as they have existed.You won't see anything about me on the website.I work in the lab.

The others helped move this along as well.Bassim, my brother, is an ER doctor with the mind of an engineer.My father inlaw has done a lot of things in his life, but he had a background in tile and brick laying as a kid in Spain.I don't know how he knew so much about this.My wife,Rosana, helped me think about the project and juggle our two kids.Both of them always wanted to help with the cement.

I will send the pictures of the process to you.I might be able to tally up all the receipts with a spreadsheet.I only have a few images on me right now, but more are to come.There will always be a chance for more pictures.It still has to be painted.I will send you some nice shots when that is done.

I would like to thank Naeem for sending the current photos, the work is great and the team is also great.It would be wonderful if you sent me photos, material quantity, and costs.

To protect the set in walls from water and to keep a clean final wall render, just apply any solid masonry insulation.The walls at the back and sides of the concrete slab are covered in paint or sheet form.A quick and simple approach.When it gets wet, it will be enough to separate them from the ground.The space between the elevated ground and the oven walls should be filled with stone gravel.The gravel can be raised a couple of inches above the insulation.Spreading some stone gravel is positive.When rain hits the ground, the walls around the bottom won't get dust or dirt, so it's half a foot away from the oven.

The traditional Mexican adobe oven was what my father in law wanted.I jumped on the chance to build a brick oven after one of his brothers said to use bricks.

The foundation should be painted with foundation sealer.It is used to waterproof the basement.It is cement based and will bond well with the block.It is grey and white.To see if you covered the block, use white.Then white and grey.You can put a french drain with a sock on it after that.Then put it in the soil.It will be waterproof after that.

Rebar and concrete supplies can be found at a building supply place.The name of the seal could be...ThoroSeal or Acryl 60.

I would like to check out Naeem's oven.I am planning an oven from your plans, I live in Seattle.Thanks, Greg Moring.
