If you build the stone oven yourself, you do this in two steps. The first thing you do is build this

foundationon which your stove is then built. If the stove is to be erected on your terrace, which already has a level, stable floor, the foundation may not be required. In the second step, you then wall up your stone oven with the fireplace. In the construction instructions described here, you install special masonry bricks or clinker bricks from the building supply store. You can achieve the round arch that is typical of your stone oven with the help of a metal sheet that you bring into the desired shape beforehand.

1. Start with that building of the foundation. To do this, simply lift out a bed that is 30 centimeters deep. This is filled in with gravel, about 25 centimeters high.

2. Now form this bed with a formwork wooden frame, into which you then fill the liquid concrete. Use simple boards for this formwork. To brush Apply this beforehand with an oil-water mixture. In this way, the frame can easily be removed from the concrete later.
3. Use precast concrete as a filling. Mix it according to the instructions. You avoid cracks in the foundation by using a reinforcement wire mesh. You place these directly in the concrete while filling.
4. When the foundation is done, then build the stone oven. After the concrete foundation has hardened, start bricking the furnace. You choose a suitable size for this.
5. the walls of the stone oven you wall in the runner bond. In doing so, you brick the vertical joints with half a stone each. Start with a whole stone in the first row. In the next, a whole stone follows at the beginning. The joints should be evenly about an inch wide.
6. Continue row by row. A good material for this are NF stones, stones with a normal format. With twelve rows you get a height of about one meter. You choose the height of your stone oven yourself. Also build brackets into the joints.
7. Metal brackets are well suited as brackets. Simply place these in the joints. Your trays or grill racks will later be on this. You can build in multiple brackets. Then you can vary the height of your sheets later.
8. Finally, the metal sheet is installed. Shape this into a semicircle. Then just cut it in at the bottom edge. This edge can then be bent flat into a kind of foot. This foot is placed on the joint and is then walled in with several rows of stones.

After completing your stone oven, heat it up for the first time. Good baking pleasure with it!
