dmun - thanks again for the reply. My flue for the fireplace would be placed behind the oven, an not interfere with the oven at all. At least that's my goal. My main use would be for pizza, although I'm sure after I got my wood fire oven education, my wifes homemade bread would be done there also. It's a little disconcerting to think about all the insulating via insulating blankets, perlite, and insulated cement to have heat loss issues thru the door. I guess I'm having second thoughts due to my size constraints, and may just build a typical fire place, and buy an ceramic cooker for pizza's and smoking?
