heres the mock up of what i intend to do, i feel it is important at this stage that you know where your chimney is going to go and HOW you expect to level off that angle. this is a great website with good images http://www.villagok.dk/brickoven/july2005/july2005.html , scroll down to the image of his "drop"
I happen to have picked up for free some already cut angle bricks so i am using them.
the inside after its all closed up (not cleaned) but you can see how that simple side arch with 2 bricks in fornt makes a good seal, the IMPORTANT thing for me has always been not to have areas that can hold ash and then eventually drop into your food, this design i think achieves that.
the front stage finished up to the stage of laying out the bricks to suppot the chimney which will run along the top of the drop.
just need to clean inside and i can start seasoning it ready for the first pizzas.
