"An oven built of a single thickness of brick will work well, but the
extra mass and strength gained by a simply applied 2-inch layer of
concrete makes all the difference." Concrete, of course, puts it way
OOP, but a layer of clay on the outside of the bricks should serve the
same purpose, adding heat-retaining mass.
I was under the impression that concrete was invented by the Romans, and
that they even had a hydraulic concrete that hardened underwater...
