I am still at least a year away from starting this project - gotta convince the wife first. I was reading one of the thread about crack problems from dissimilar materials and reviewing the Pompeii instruction on the mother site. So if I get the thread right once you have finished laying the fire brick you will need an expansion joint of sorts for the rest of the structure. On the lines of where the instruction could be more clear I came across this rather confusingly put together sentence.
The Oven Opening
Set the from house wall back such that the brick arch at the oven opening projects forward by a couple of inches.

In my copiuos free time I will print out the full set of intructions as I believe there are other places where the instruction string is a bit confusing. I know that is what the forum is here to fix - all our unanswered questions.
Side note - Robert - was up in Magalia/Paradise the other weekend for the parental units 50th wedding anniversary - I waved by as I blew through town did you see me ;-). Unfortunately a weekend trip does not allow short side trips. I would like to show the wife your handiwork sometime. She's seen the photos and still I need to convince her....
