I showed you a mock up image in the last post so here you can see it completed, basically I have made the angled drop back to a level area to build the chimney onto, at the back of the "mess" . you really need to keep this tidy as when you do the next stages you want ot make sure there is no gaps that air can gather in, i read this can cause explosions? with air heating up? anyway.....just fill it all in and keep it square and it should be easy to
heres the front view, you can see the supporting angle iron (refer to mock-up image in previous post) and I have secured the angle iron "downward" pressure by placing bricks in the chimney section infront.
you really need to make sure as you build your chimney up that the weight is being forced down into the correct direction.
heres a close up of that support, i had to shove alot of mortar into that jiont becuase i didn't cut the bricks myself, but you can see here how that works and it will be a great support for the chimney. the smoke will also be drawn backwards as it exits the oven and hopefully stay on the inward side of the chimney ensuring no smoke goes out the front area and THUS keeps that area clean.
