4. Set the Cooking Floor
Overview
Measure your hearth to ensure that you are centering your
oven left and right on the hearth. How far back you set the
cooking surface will depend on the size and material you
are using for the oven landing in front of the oven opening.
Do a trial layout using your oven landing material and your
oven floor. This will help you place your oven to the correct
depth on the hearth slab.
Instructions
Spread a 3/8" layer of fine sand using a notched trowel.
Lay your cooking surface in place, butting the joints tightly
together. Check for level. This is your true cooking surface,
so it is vital that it is completely level in all directions.
Check again that the oven "faces" straight forward.
4.1. Set the cooking floor on a thin bed of sand.
4.2. Set the vent landing level with the cooking floor.
