Thanks for the encouragement. Felt great to drop in that last piece. Spent all day yesterday trying to wrap my brain around the exterior arch and chimminey connection.

I had never priced Dura Vent pipes before!!!!! HOLY SH#%T. I didn't know they made the stuff out of gold. $1400 for a anchor plate, a set of elbows, six feet of pipe and a spark arrestor!!!!!!!

The chimminey is going to be with in a foot of some hollow wood dry beams. In California, I don't want to take any chances; but jeeeeez.

Their goes what was left of my budget. Now I am going to have to make pizzas using smashed wonder bread and cheeze-wiz instead of Caputo Rosso Tipo pizza flour and mozzarella di bufala.

Ouch.

[Mitchamus]

take it all back for a refund, and just build a brick one instead!

Greg,

Have you checked out this site yet.

Fireplace Products > Piping / Venting > Wood/All-Fuel Piping and Venting > 8 inch > DuraTech - DynamiteBuys.com

That should be a link to the 8" SS dura tech stuff. It looks like it would be about $500 for a 30 degree elbow set, 5' of pipe, the anchor plate and the cap. Their prices include shipping as well. Worth checking out.

[smuth10]

Sorry Greg, it is $624.59 for everything in SS. Still a lot better than $1400

[geisen]

I had it down to $970 from a Venting.com website but your tip saved the day. Just placed the order. all six pieces $616. You get free pizza when ever you frequent casa de geisen. thanks.

Congratulations Greg! The inside dome looks great! All that detailed work has gotten you into shape for your final outer arch and transitions to the anchor plate .
Hey, I know what you mean about the Duratech. I checked out those discount places and finally used barbecues.com. The only problem is they ship in the unprotected retail box and UPS dragged it to my office on a rope behind their truck. I returned the long pipe because of all the dents. The replacement was still dinged but at least it was round. I didn't need those elbows, but I know they were expensive.
Your oven and cooking area is going to look soooo nice. Can't wait to see it all.
Take care, Dino
