Filling Grout on the Oven

The next step in getting the oven ready to use is complete. The stone guys put in the grout that fills out the morter to make a clean, finished look. The guys let me try putting on a bit. It is like putting a topping on a pastry. The grout is put into a big vinyl funnel and then squeezed into the spaces between the stones.


After the grout has set up to where it is firm, it is brushed smooth with a wire brush and then with a soft broom. Also any grout that is on the stones can be cleaned off with a brush. Then hose the whole thing off so the dust and bits do not stick.
