Your web site lists only 1 part silica sand, but the vid calls for 3 parts. Might want to make the correction. (It seems like 3 parts is the correct amount what you did in the video)

soaking bricks like this kills the hydrolic effect in bonding. without the dry medium "sucking" in the mortar you end up with fire bricks sitting next to hardened mortar rather than the two actually bonding. true, a higher slump mix sets up stronger but you also have to have it bond. I think I would make a wetter mix and just dampen the fire brick a little so there is still a hydrolic effect

It's my pleasure! I've been using my oven for 3 years now and I routinely heat it up to 1,000° F / 538° C with zero problems. I'm not sure what the max temp is, but it's really hard to get the oven over 1,000° by only using wood

One more thing, not only do I get it up to those temperatures, but I'll keep it at probably 800 degree for several hours at a time. So I know it handles high temperatures for a short and long period of time.

@@cesgar7994 I do not know what the max temp is, all I can say it is designed for a typical pizza oven with 1,000 F temperatures. I've used mine over a period of 3 years, routinely at 1,000 degrees, for hours and hours at a time, and it holds up perfectly. No problems at all. From the DIY pizza oven community, I've read that it's okay to 1,700 degrees, but you can't get a pizza oven to that temp with normal cooking. The store bought kind (Rutlands) is good up to 2,000 degrees, but again, just using wood in your oven, you'll be hard pressed to get above 1,000 degrees from a regular wood fire.

@@nicholasnicoloff873 So I won't appear facetious, please tell us about your hot lime mix. I have no idea about what you know. And you offer little basis for others to understand your question. So to dodge all this facetiousness, please share information, not questions that may be so useless as to mislead others. How could hydraulic lime be an effective binder, rather than Portland? I guess you could have the loose material in some sort of container, but then you only need alumina. So if you know this stuff, please take the time to write a few paragraphs about how the hot mix lime worked, how you expect the aforementioned hyd lime, sand, and calcium aluminate would work or how it worked if you have tried this mix. Thanks. Please share what you know, it is vital that we all advance, learn, and share!

With this recipe? I need plates to be vermiculite type heat resistant... 24x24cm and only 1.5cm thick. ALL HELP APPRECIATED!!! THANKS LIS

Wow. Good question. I've used this recipe in my pizza oven for 3 years now, with no issues, but it is outside. For the price of the ingredients, you may be able to purchase those plates to use in your stove. I would have to say don't use the recipe, purely from a safety/liability standpoint. Also, you can purchase another product called Heat Stop, you mix it yourself and it's designed for what you need.

White sand is normally almost completely silica and almost all sand is mostly silica because it's one of the most abundant minerals in the earths crust. White sand is just broken down quartz. Quartz, silicone, beach sand, glass and granite and the majority of all rocks either are all silica or contain silica. Doesn't have to be white to be silica either. Play box sand and any clean sand pretty much could be used for this.

Thanks for the vid. I couldn't find hydrated lime, so someone told me to put the standard lime in a bucket and fill with water without mixing. It was to sit for at least 24 hours to become hydrated lime. Now I have a lime putty and I'm not sure if the mix is still the same. Any ideas how much lime putty to use? Or would "dry hydrated lime" be much better?

You could heat it gently over an outdoor fire in a pan, stirring till dry, then powder the dry caked lumps. Lot of work though.
