Definitely stick with the plans.

OK, I think I'm hearing that I should stick with my original plans:-)

Can anyone point me in the right direction in terms of where to get a high heat insulating board?

Just starting to collect some more material! 3 pallets of fire bricks and pavers, assorted sizes. 1 pallet new, 2 pallets 2nd hand $300!!!!!!! I'm in heaven. Will be picking them up this weekend.

Use the pearlite (or vermiculite) concrete mix. It is very easy and relatively cheap. You will already have the cement for your mortar mix.
