 Re: chemney vent assembly question?
Hi Doug,
You are right in that it is not totally intuitive. And Peter is also right that it works perfectly the way you did it. Thanks Peter!
For background, the reason it does not line up perfectly is that the vent can be used two ways -- depending on your enclosure style. Most people want a flat decorative arch to define the opening into the oven, which is why you set the vent back to line up flush with the front of the oven vent walls. The vent also supports a type of installation where the opening is square, and stone is used to form it. That way, the vent hangs over the edge, and the stone frames everything in. I have seen installations done that way in Italy, though fewer in the U.S.
Also, your comment that this could/should be more clear in the installation guide is well-taken. We are working on a new version of the installation guide right now, and we are working on improving that section. Thanks for the input on that.
Go slow with the curing -- and have fun! It's going to be great.
