  • flue location on constructed dome

    My traditional Naples oven that I am restoring now used to have (before I removed it) upper lip style flue – attached sketch.
    While I have removed the lip I have complete dome but with no chimney and entrance. What are your suggestions for installing the flue.
    Should I build additional entrance – like 1 brick length and install flue there or try to drill chimney hole just above current entrance?

    Why are you not rebuilding what you had

      hi. see my other thread. Oven was in poor condition and I have to change floor and render. SA it was Neapolitan style with upper lip chimney type - I want to make it more traditional oven look with nice round dome and flue in front

        Given that the dome is old I would leave it alone, coring a hole large enough for a flue could destroy the old dome , I also do not believe that a flue within the dome will work all that well.
        my recommendation would be to either build an entry two brick deep
