Interesting. I was planning on using steel frame and cement board, and then running stone and brick all the way up (including the ceilings). In that case if I put in the portland cement/vermiculite mixture versus loose fill, and let that mixture cover the flue, then I would be OK? Or even better, just the portland/vermiculite around the flue and loose fill everything else? That won't be too tight on the clay tile? If that is the case then you just made my day! Thanks for all your feedback by the way, it has really helped through this build process.
