Re: 81 Inch First Build (and first post)

got back to work over the weekend and the flue is done and parging with CA / perlite started.






way more parging...doing another 4 inches or so with the CA cement, then changing to regular portland for the remaining 8 to 10 inches of insulation.

Re: 81 Inch First Build (and first post)

Yeah, more brick and ties coming to buttress....

Started flue, using split flue liners and firebrick..

Re: 81 Inch First Build (and first post)

Looks good, but you probably need some more mass to buttress that arch.

Re: 81 Inch First Build (and first post)

today I filled in behind the front arch and tied to dome with CA and perlite also creating the taper from front to rear arch..
