VillaGok brick oven - Spring 2006 |
|
![]() May-2006: The joints between the roof tiles and the chimney are filled with an elastic construction sealant. (It was too cold for this job when the roof tiles were laid.) |
![]() May-2006: The sides and ends of the roof are closed. A view from the back... |
![]() May-2006: ...and a view from the front of the oven. |
![]() May-2006: Until recently, I just used a piece of plywood as door but a few weeks ago I made a proper door. I have now placed a thermometer with a 30 cm probe in the door - more about that on the (coming) accessories page! |
![]() May-2006: A template is placed on top of the chimney to prepare a brick arch cover. The template rests on four small pieces of wood so that it can easily be removed when the arch is finished. |
![]() May-2006: The arch is slowly going up. It is rather tricky work because the back of the chimney is difficult to reach. |
![]() May-2006: Finally the last brick is laid and about an hour later the template is removed. The oven is finished! :-) |
![]() May-2006: A view up through the chimney before the cover is sooted by the first firing... |
