Well, after watching our clay and sand bricks that dried in the hot sun for 5 days absolutely melt in the sprinkly rain over the last two days, we're thinking we may need to add a little mortar mix to our cob. Even our starting clay brick with no sand added became soft. I can just imagine the whole oven melting after one of our fall rains. Not a sight I ever want to see. Even though I know it will cure harder after it gets a fire in it, it has to dry before that can happen. Not going to get to work on it this weekend anyway after all since we have to help someone clean out their garage. Oh well, at least I got my steel plate bought. I can get that installed and set and let it cure some this way. Will post pics.
