Assembly Firebricks

(7) Next, after checking that the oven is level and square, its time to fit the firebricks.
Follow the pattern below, and start at the rear wall, fit the bricks to the floor.
You may have to shuffle the bricks around a little to get the flattest possible surface.
Firebricks are fired in a kiln and some variation in size is to be expected.
Pictured left is the layout for
firebricks in the firebox which is
under the oven.
There is a vertical steel plate
about 3/4 of the way back into the
box. Fit the vertical side bricks on
both sides first. Push all the way
back to the rear wall. Next fit the
two vertical bricks up against the
vertical steel plate, then fit the six
horizontal bricks.
Note: The six horizontal bricks can go
either side to side or front to back, it is not
important which way they go.
The oven bricks are layed out as
shown at left however the 2
narrow bricks shown on the right
can go on either the right or left
side.
