Cooking outside means eating and entertaining stay alfresco, and a wood-fired oven gives a different taste to the classic barbecue. The supporting platform and tile surround are separate.
The oven has a heat-resistant base, but you need to build a raised support platform of limestone, concrete or bricks. This one has a 100mm-thick concrete slab with three walls of Hebel autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) blocks. Steel lintels span the walls to support Hebel floor panels.
