Note that the diameter of your oven does not have to be
exactly 36" or 42", but rather the nearest size that you
reach without cutting bricks. Build a model on a flat space
to get your exact measurement for the bricks you are
using. Do not allow space for a mortar joint, as you will be
setting the edges of the bricks facing inside the oven flush
with each other.

These dimensions assume 4" upper wall thickness and a
12" oven landing. Adjust according to your specific design.
We recommend that you consider rounding up your oven
stand dimensions to the nearest size that keeps you from
having to measure and cut your blocks. You do not have
to be accurate to the inch with you stand, and you can
make up any differences with additional insulation.
