I am going to have the bottom of the oven door at waist height, the gas element will be at knee height. I think most of your time will be spent at the oven so it makes ergonomic sense to do it this way.
So I'm thus going to have a square brick structure with an oven hovering in the middle of it, I have thought of supporting it with bricks but i came across some heavy duty reinforcing metal rod the other day so I might use that and then wire the oven to it. The oven weighs @ 20kg now its stripped, I can't see any more then 20kgs of food being inside it so I am sure the reo will take the weight. Hmmm, I'll decide when I get the oven almost into position, the thing is you do NOT want it to have any movement at all, opening the oven door over time will take its toll and once it is inside its going to be a bugger to change anything.
