Re: Starting new 36" build
Here is a picture of my plan for the thermal break. I'm planning to use some 1/4" or 3/8" ceramic rope in the inside, and a larger piece on the back side.
I also to tie the arch into the dome at the top, under the duravent anchor plate - using a piece of IFB. I feel like the arch needs to be anchored to the dome somewhere in order to provide stability. Since I have a relatively shallow landing, the back side of the bricks on which the chimney anchor plate sits will have to be over the inner arch no matter what. I thought by using IFB for the top center mount, where there is very little mass to transmit heat, I could have an effective continual thermal break.
but all that could be hooey, or maybe I need a picture to 'splain it.
