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" (9.5 mm) layer of fine sand or high
temperature refractory mortar 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.
IMPORTANT: do
not fill in side walls between floor and inner dome
with mortar.
Gap is by design to allow for thermal
expansion and contraction during oven use.
