Hi all
i need a suitable floor for a tiny pizza oven 300mm x 340mm
what do you recommend?
Soapstone if you can find any ... not cheap.

Salvage yard in Glasgow (you'll have one locally) sells old slate bases from pool tables, folks get them cut for fire hearths, I reckon they would be ace as are perfectly flat, smooth and are real easy to cut with a wee cutting disc.
They're not expensive.
Must be good with heat too.
Edit - just clocked your sizes - a ceramic tile will be ideal, and cheap.
It needs to be heat resistant but also absorb/distribute heat evenly

if you have the abilities to trim one edge
Looks just the job - would it withstand the heat of a fire directly on top?
Google fire bricks, the floor needs to be able to withstand 6 or 700 degrees C and it also needs to absorb and then radiate heat in order to cook the base.
Don't forget to insulate under the fire bricks.
I recommend a bigger pizza oven!
I wish i could have one!!
Looking at it i "think" i need 5 x 220*110mm bricks
