The vermiculite/portland base doesn't appear to be robust enough to hold a Tapcon.
How has everybody else handled this?

Been working on this with my dad. Either I am going crazy or he is making me crazy. He has built a ton of chimney for fireplaces and not many pizza ovens lets just say that.

My door height is roughly 15.5 in tall and 17 in wide. When it comes to the Vent and Chimney transiton what is the right combination of Vent Size both width and depth to a 8" clay chimney flue. My dad insists that between door of the oven and the outside of the oven which I am calling the depth should more than 8.5 in....yet I see no mention of this concern on this site.
As well as the front of the oven where the vent sits on a brick everyone's design seems to show a straight shot from the vent arch to the outside part of the oven with no block to create a chamber. Does the smoke come out of the front ? If there was to be a chamber area how big should that be. Father insists on it being 4-5 in or roughly 1 in down from the door opening.

I am stating to get frustarted with finishing this thing before the holidays and just wait until spring but I figure some sanity from folks here might set me straight. As i was about to buy two flues and build a vent like one that Dnum did in his geodisc design but now I got my maestro telling me the depth is to small.

What is right or can someone say what worked best for them so I do not feel like I am going about this the wrong way.

I have in my back yard a chiminea (outdoor fireplace) and my daughter ask me to build one in her new home that she got last year. After building her retaining wall on her back and side with a large circle on the corner for a fire place 56in.round. I found this site. I think that having a pizza oven would be more fun. My son-in-law thinks a chiminea would be better. I think we could do the chiminea in the frt by making the frt 2 arches bigger and have the oven in the back. I have not heard of this frt and back design in the forum but would like some feedback. I did start to lay block in the frt of the circle to extend the frt of the platform.: ]]> Design Styles, Chimneys and Finish Puff the Magic Dragon http://www.fornobravo.com/forum/f9/fireplace-frt-oven-inback-8787.html http://www.fornobravo.com/forum/f9/pizza-oven-top-wood-burning-chimney-8518.html Wed, 28 Oct 2009 21:53:26 GMT Has anybody constructed a functioning wood burning chimney with a pizza oven on top?

As envisioned, it will be, interior floor dimensions, 36" deep by 18" wide, with a barrel vaulted ceiling. I also plan on putting the chimney at the rear, not the front. The door will be 12" wide by 9" tall, with a 12" deep entry.

What are the issues as planned? ]]> Design Styles, Chimneys and Finish Tscarborough http://www.fornobravo.com/forum/f9/tentative-plan-tunnel-oven-8402.html
