Oven Construction Overview
Connect your chimney system prior to insulating, as you will insulate the chimney section inside your oven housing.
For outdoor brick oven construction, you can use either a Simpson double-wall sectional chimney system or terra cotta chimney pieces. For indoor sections, you should use a Simpson triple wall, grease-sealed sectional chimney system approved for internal use. Check with you local building codes.
The following table outlines the internal diameter of the pizza oven chimney for the different sizes:
