Completing of the work

The construction of a brick hearth, regardless of its design and size, begins with the preparation of the necessary property. Calculations are made according to design documentation.

List of required tools:

• roulette;
• shovel;
• level;
• hacksaw;
• a hammer;
• Bulgarian;
• scissors;
• Master OK;
• mallet.

List of materials:

• fireclay and red clay bricks;
• pottery clay;
• sand;
• roofing material;
• cement;
• corner;
• fittings;
• impregnation for stone;
• metal for the manufacture of doors and burners.

Materials should be taken with a small margin of 10-15%. Broken and used bricks can be used.

Then you need to prepare your workplace. This stage includes:

1. Clearing the area from vegetation and small infrastructure.
2. Supply of electricity, water, preparation of containers for garbage and waste.
3. Arrangement of communication lines.
4. Preparation of protection from precipitation.
5. Preparation of protective equipment - visor, gloves, respirator.

Recommended technique for building a brick oven:

1. Foundation making. The best option is a reinforced concrete slab, poured over a layer of sand and gravel. The thickness of the base should be 8-10 cm with an elevation of 5 cm above the ground level. If the soil is wet and unstable, additionally tubular or screw-type supports are lowered into it.
2. Dry stone laying. They are first tried on and adjusted to fit. For cutting, you need to use a grinder, as splitting gives ragged edges and inaccurate dimensions.
3. Preparation of the solution. Laying a waterproofing layer on concrete. A layer of clay up to 10 mm is applied on top, and the first row is already laid on it. Careful alignment is carried out.
4. In the course of masonry, the vertical and horizontal of the structure are controlled. Correction is carried out with a mallet and a workshop. In accordance with the order, mortgages for doors, grates and a hob are installed. The seams are rubbed, and after drying they are treated with mastic.
5. Chimney installation. Making it out of brick is impractical. It is much faster and cheaper to install a double pipe with a deflector and a sump.
6. Drying. The hearth must stand at least a half moon, after which it must be heated, gradually increasing the temperature, bringing it to a maximum after 5-6 hours.

To protect the hearth from the effects of weather factors, it must be equipped with a roof, drainage, regularly cleaned of snow, soot and dirt. In humid climates, bricks can be covered with façade plaster or clinker tiles.
