Its like finding a "little gem" this channel. I cannot wait to get into the garden and build a SimpleNick-Inspired tandoor oven. Thanks so much for the content Nick!
I think using some sort of foam inside the majority of the lid would give you the insulation without the weight, with maybe just a final layer of a couple inches of the cement mix to seal it in and give just enough weight to keep the lid in place.
Hi Michael that is exactly what I am going to do, I have an old piece left over from when I put the wood burner in. Thanks for sharing with the community.
