Is there any reason one could not place the chimney in the back of a pizza oven? I have seen some plans where the pizza oven entrance door seems like it is in front and some behind the chimney, so I wasnt sure how that would affect the oven since if it's vented in the rear, it will in all likelihood not be able to be closed (if needed).
I want to build a fireplace/pizza oven/grill combo.
It seems that a front facing fireplace with a side facing pizza oven that's vented in the back (instead of near the oven entrance) could work. I figure with some mild angling of the pizza oven chimney, I could get both chimneys to run parallel to one another and possibly bridge the two with a removable slide plate so the fireplace & pizza oven could function together as a slow smoker. I was also thinking of adding a small ash/coal dump slot that was also able to be opened/closed with a sliding sheet of stainless that would dump the coals down into the fireplace to be collected to use in the grill shelf on the other side of the fireplace.
Hopefully that description makes sense. What problems/issues/suggestions do any of you more knowledgeable than I have? All responses are appreciated.
Thanks
