masonry structure is to be attached to the fireplace
kit, the footing dimensions should be adjusted to in-
clude these customizations.
If local building code exceeds the manufacturer’s
specifications for footings, follow the local code.
Use Stone Age’s Multi-Purpose Ready-Mix, or an-
other high temperature fire clay or refractory cement
suitable for indoor or outdoor use, and mix according
to manufacturer’s instructions.
Once the fireplace-oven is constructed you must wait
at least 28 days before building a fire to give ade-
quate time to cure. This will provide ample time for
any water residue to evaporate, eliminating the ad-
verse reaction of the combination of water and fire.
Stone Age products are designed to be assembled
using a 3/8” fully bedded mortar joint for the kit
pieces. Do not “butter the edges” of the kit pieces.
3.2 Assembly of Components
Components that become broken during shipment
and handling can be mortared back together provid-
ing the breaks or cracks are clean and the original
alignment can be maintained. Components broken
into multiple pieces must be replaced.
The Caminetto™ ships as 3 pallets of material,
which must be assembled in numerical order. Begin
with pallet 1, then add the components from pallet 2,
and finish with the components from pallet 3. It is
recommended that you keep each pallet of materials
together until you are ready to install that pallet. The
components of Pallet 1 are shown in figure 5.
A. Start assembly with pallet 1. Begin kit assembly
by setting the base plate pieces (1 & 1C) on the
footing. Use a 3/8” joint of mortar between each
section, or slightly more if needed to reach the
proper overall width of 72” for this model. Level
the pieces from side to side and front to back. See
Figure 6.
B. On the first level, install the sidewalls (2) first,
then the back plates (3A, 3B, 3C). Use 3/8” joint of
mortar between each section, and repeat with all
remaining assembly steps, except for the firebrick.
Note that the back plates will be taller than the
sidewalls at this level. Smooth out mortar and en-
sure sections remain level. See Figures 7 and 8.
