I also built a 42" dome. I changed from 1/2 bricks to 1/3rd bricks around the 6th or 7th course. The dome will let you know when you need to change. As you go higher you'll get to the point where a half-brick seems like it is just too large to properly sit on the course below....

Reply to Help with Brick InstallI just saw from looking at your build thread you used something like 1/4 inch of dry leveling compound? No wonder it is leaking out the sides- like sands through an hourglass. That just seems to me like a crazy amount of clay/sand. My board and hearth were relatively flat so I didn't need any compound...Yesterday, 10:01 PM

Reply to Help with Brick InstallThanks. That helps. I've run into another issue that I'm wondering if it is an insurmountable problem.
Here's what I have in the following order from top down
