Just realized this when I read your last post, although you said it in the first I just didn't recognize it...about the flue in the back...I think you would have to make the opening to the flue at the 63% height and the door should be lower(I think) otherwise your exhaust gases will exit the door. I agree with Dmun and think you should use the door as the "exit" for the gases...you could then run the flue over the oven dome toward the center or the back...that could be the best of both worlds!!! I will try to render up a sketch for you tomorrow!
