You may want to consider (or already have) building the oven itself on a reinforced slab so that if any movement occurs in the drystone base it won't cause a break in your oven. Another option is to blind mortar the stones in the base. You can still enjoy the look of the stones without any mortar, and have a base that will offer stability better suited to the structure it's meant to support.
