    • RE: Aircrete for a wood-fired oven? Silly idea?

      Thanks for the encouragement. Its enough to push the needle to the "Ask the wife for permission" stage.

      I've got some ideas in CAD software, so its just matter of building the forms and trying a few blocks. If it gets beyond that, I'll be sure to document.

      Thanks again along with the nice welcome. I'm sure I'll be back to read up on ideas for AirCrete formulation.

    • Aircrete for a wood-fired oven? Silly idea?

      Hello,

      New here and recently learning about AirCrete. I apologize in advance if I'm not posting to the correct forum.

      I'd like to use AirCrete to form arch bricks and regular bricks for the arch roof and side of an outdoor oven. If light enough, I may consider making the arch roof in AirCrete sections...

      Would this be feasible with AirCrete? My concerns are:

      • Insulation - will it trap heat or dissipate through the aircrete?
      • Toxic when heated? The floor will be pizza stone tiles on top of aircrete blocks.
      • Will it hold up to multiple firings... I live in an area that gets all four seasons.
      • Do I need to consider refractory cement? The wood fire should only reach temps of ~1000F (550C)

      Thanks in advance!
      Ken
