Andres Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 (edited) Hi! I am building now an strawbale house and an oven from natural stone. And wanted a different door to this. Not to buy it from store. I looked some old scrap metal and here it is. Edited June 29, 2009 by mod07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Very nice door for an Oven. Will you be mounting a piece of clear ceremic like my woodstove has as a window or just fill in with sheetmetal? I assume that you have chosen stone that will deal well with the heat and not shatter, crumble or explode? (Or have the stone far enough back out of the heat zone not to have a problem...)

Andres Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 Thanks. I put in the frame heat resistant glass. But the stone is from finland called IKIKIVI. You can find more Ikikivi-liuske | liuskekivi | pihakivi | sis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 My officemate is from Finland; It was almost sad to find they had an english version of their webpages. Looks like good fire rated stuff. My first degree was in geology so I always got to chose the rocks we used for coooking with in the Y1K Irish Living History group I was in. I too used mainly igneous and metamorphic rocks but had to settle for the ones I could find left in the local streams by the glaciers. (and then I tested them before they got used in public!) Having a window out sure makes it easier to watch the food but it also lets heat out by radiation. Probably not a problem in this case.

Rob Browne Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Great looking door. Its one of the many benefits of this hobby that we can make custom items for ourselves cheaply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
