Constructed a temporary placement for my new Edil Planet Nonno Pepe oven. Should have taken into account how flammable the materials I used were. Got up one morning to find my oven busted and charred on my newly placed terrace.. Good thing it was 3m away from my house.
Still works fine after hammering out the biggest dents, 3 weeks in, the oven already had a history and a lot of flare..😅
Was it sitting on non air gapped 2x4s that started smoldering when it was in use? Curious so I don't do something I assume is safe.
I’ve put the pallet used to transport the oven on 2 metal scaffolding pieces, and then put some leftover concreteplex boards in between the oven and the pallet. I know placing the oven on wood wasn’t the smartest move, but it would only be for a little while, since i was going to weld a more stable setup. The steel got backordered though. I checked everytime before and after a pizza session to make sure the wood wasn’t on fire or deteriorated, and when i left the oven the night before the fire, the wood inside of the oven was reduced to some smoldering embers, while the construction underneath showed no signs of smoke or smoldering. Still not sure what happened during the night, maybe the wind picked up and ignited the concreteplex? The result however was quite clear…
The oven is now placed on a table where i placed a row of bricks, and between the bricks and the oven i’ve placed some kind of fireplace insulation board that’s water-resistant (and very cheap since it’s a leftover from a fireplace-installer.
