8.5. A cast lintel forms oven opening.
We recommend that you set back the vent side bricks back
1/2" to allow for a reveal that you will use to "form" the
opening into the oven. You need to leave a lip that your
door can close tightly against, fully sealing heat and steam
inside the oven chamber, and completely cutting off the air
supply.
8.6. The entry arch and vent has a clearly defined door
stop.
Tips and Hints
You can use The Indispensable Tool to determine the
inward curve of the oven opening bricks. Mark the bricks
using a pen attached to The Indispensable Tool.
