Hi,
I'm currently planning an outdoor oven for next spring time and have seen the one I want (buying a pre-fab) but need to build a base. This thing weighs 400kgs so I'm guessing I need to put a slab down that will support this plus the brick walls to take it to a height I can use, so that's going to be the best part of 5-600kgs it will need to support.
It will be approx 2 meters long and 1.5m wide - any ideas/advice on thickness and if I should put some metal support inside, such as this type of thing:

Do I need to pay the slab on anything other than bare earth? As you can tell I've not done this type of thing before, so need a 'dummies guide'.
Thanks
