Build steps and tools
Resolve the source dimensions
Keep this Ada-Foah variant distinct from Otuam. Resolve the conflicting source fire-opening dimensions with site measurements.
Tape measure, square and level; the clay base is a geometric volume, not a coursing or shrinkage schedule.
tape measuresquareSet out the combustion base
Review foundations, clay/sand preparation, wall shrinkage and lintel support before constructing the base and two openings.
Masonry mixing and forming tools need local builder selection. No universal curing time or mix performance is established here.
Cut and dry-fit the trays
Use measured rail width and height. Crosscut the long and end rails, test corner pilots and review the proposed grip chamfer.
Hand crosscut or ryōba saw, mitre/chop saw for repeat lengths, clamps, square, drill/driver, pilot bit and screwdriver. Rip/table or guided circular saw only when stock needs ripping.
hand crosscut sawryoba sawmitre sawclampsquaredrill driverdrill bitscrewdriverhand rip sawtable sawcircular sawFit mesh and stack the trays
Trim each mesh blank, turn sharp wire ends under the frame and test staple retention. Check bearing, loaded lifting and stability of the full stack.
Wire cutters or rated metal shears and a staple gun suited to the chosen mesh/fastener. A knife is unsuitable for metal mesh.
wire cuttersshearsstaple gunFit the cover and chimney
Resolve cover edge treatment, chimney support and material suitability. Test cleaning access, heat exposure and the selected food process separately.
Sheet-metal tools and a suitable opening cutter; power tools must match the material. Fire and food-process validation remain outstanding.

Before you build
The source gives conflicting fire-opening sizes. Clay shrinkage, lintel strength, loaded tray lifting, stack stability, mesh retention, metal suitability and fire/food-process performance need physical review.
- The source gives conflicting fire-opening sizes. Clay shrinkage, lintel strength, loaded tray lifting, stack stability, mesh retention, metal suitability and fire/food-process performance need physical review.
- Individual brick surfaces illustrate a proposed adaptation of the documented clay base. Course sizes and joints are visual details, excluded from the cut list; they are not a verified masonry plan. Mesh is a translucent envelope. Tray rebates and grip chamfers follow the model. Wire weaving and pilot holes are listed but omitted from the interactive mesh. The chimney wall thickness is a proposed value, not a source dimension.
- The report also prints 380 mm × 420 mm for the same Ada-Foah firepots; the opening selection requires measurement.
What the 3D model leaves out
Individual brick surfaces illustrate a proposed adaptation of the documented clay base. Course sizes and joints are visual details, excluded from the cut list; they are not a verified masonry plan. Mesh is a translucent envelope. Tray rebates and grip chamfers follow the model. Wire weaving and pilot holes are listed but omitted from the interactive mesh. The chimney wall thickness is a proposed value, not a source dimension.
Taking the model apart separates parts for inspection; it is not an assembly order.
