If anyone has a trick or technique to keep this from happening, it would be much appreciated. I will be snapping some pics this weekend, and hope to post early next week,

I filled my empty cells with the empty bags from the Sacrete that I used to fill the other cells. And then a bit of sand/gravel. Not much.
You can fill em with just about anything to keep the hearth concrete from running into them.
Sand, gravel, dirt, newspaper, a time capsule.... whatever is available.
Congrats on the beginning of your oven! It's a heck of a fun project.
Remember to post pics.(We like em around here)
Good luck, and keep asking questions.
