Hi,

Ive taken advantage of the recent nice weather and started to build my new garden patio whilst I'm at it i might as well construct tandoor oven oh what the hell I'm going to build a pizza oven too!! side by side ill blog it as the weeks go by i hoping to get it all done for summer!! 

heres some pics of the shuttering/base I'm hoping to level the concrete this weekend i have a load of hardcore to get shot of so this is ideal.

P.S im after some tandoor liner photos inner/outer and if possible a cross-section diagram i have good idea how I'm going about it but more info i can gather the better! if anyone can help? Thanks UB.

UB,

you're impressing me now with all this cross sectional diagram lingo.

can't help with the info i know my concrete and well impressed with your shuttering.

best wishes on this impressive project. pizza oven sounds very optimistic - do u intend to fire it with wood.

Hi Jerry thanks and yeah wood and bbq coals

Again the south east is blessed with some nice spring weather and Ive finished the base with a 50:50 ballast and sharp sand on a 8 to 1 mix, leveled to the top of the shuttering. in a couple of days the concrete will be hard enough for me to remove the shuttering.

Hi George, Ive been thinking the same i guess I'm governed by the top opening which needs to be about 12" diameter so i can get bread in and out I'm estimating this will be a 40/50 liter inner cavity, about the same of a domestic oven. this really is suck it and see for me hopefully i can start the inner cavity in the next couple of weeks.
