That looks neat.
I bought the materials for the base of a pompeii/wood fired oven over 6 months ago.
Just not had a good weekend on weather (and not being busy) to get anything done!

Ok good, if you can get ceramic fiber insulation i would use that, its insulating properties are much better than pearlite, you will need alot more pearlite to reach the insulation Heat retention. Just my 2cents

Insulated blocks are for insulation, under the actual floor/hearth of the oven.

Do not confuse insulation blocks with firebricks, they two totally different things. Insulation blocks are to insulate, firebricks are for retaining heat and constructing the oven. Check out the fornobravo website for more info.

yes, I know that - Hence my original question - if there was a reason to use insulation blocks instead of firebricks - as I was wondering if the pre-cast have no need for a firebrick base.

Insulation blocks are about 6x the size of firebricks here & about 1/2 the cost.

I'm not sure what an "insulation block" is. I used k-23 insulating fire brick for my smoker FB and loose perlite with chicken wire for my WFO. I think the two things I would do differently are: ceramic blanket instead of chickenwire and perlite to get the maximum insulation, and less thermal mass in the hearth (I had 3" of clay and 2.5" of regular firebrick)--I would put the firebrick hearth directly on insulation (maybe an aluminum foil vapor barrier).

Have fun. The best part of WFO + smoker is you can burn anything: pine or other stuff in the WFO for heat, then just one or two cooking wood splits for pizza. I'll be getting a magnolia trunk shortly. No idea if its good for smoking, but I don't care--I'll burn it one way or another.
