Now that we are into October and the school year is well underway time is more readily available to work on the brick oven.

Today, I rebuilt the dome template with 4 additional cut outs.

With the rebuilt dome template, I began to dry fit everything. First the layer of insulation brick, next the fire brick, then the dome template.

Finally I stacked the first layer of bricks for the dome.

It's starting to come together...the next key thing is to secure the insulation brick to the base.
