Just me in the wintertime. It is kinda large; 120' across the front, 70' down the right side, and about 90 ' down the left. It was built in 1863, and rebuilt in 1911. I have an RV sitting on the property, and I have bedroom, bathroom inside, and a lotta area to do anything I want to. The...

Ok..I might have figured it out. I'll see if I can get some photos. One is my house; two are showing the mason putting the bricks on the form for the curved ceiling, and one showing the completed oven, after a few years use. I used pavers for the floor, and regular bricks for the inside ceiling...

Yes I do, but I'm having trouble up-loading the photos.

Good morning, Guys...I've searched the forums, and can't find info on lava rocks. I've gotta a gas barbecue, (I know..but when the Wife wants steak, she doesn't want to hear the word "marinate" or "charcoal". She wants to eatnow!) and I'd like to hear from the experts, on just how thick a layer...
