Hello,
New to the forum, long time lurker. I'm planning my oven for next year, at first I was going to put it in the yard, but I started thinking (that`s usually expensive). We have a walk out basement with a seating area under the deck for the main floor, with steel roof under the deck to make a dry area under. So I was thinking of building the oven off the deck, but with the front of it facing the seating area under the deck. So far so good.
Then I started thinking that the oven is too high and opening too small to double as a fireplace, so I started thinking about a fireplace. I have wide enough to offset them to have room for the fireplace flue, but I'd like to have a single flue because I'd have to run it along the house 2 stories to clear the roof line of the house. I can probably connect the oven flue on the fireplace flue, or vice-versa, but I don`t like that.
So that's where thinking started. In the first photo, that's how my friend has his oven setup (no fireplace). But he has a drop chute (green arrow) under the flue (or near) to drop the ashes in a bucket in the storage compartment under.
What if I take advantage of that chute to direct the fireplace smoke up the shared flue and have 2 doors (orange line), one for the oven opening and one for the exterior opening?
When I don't use the fireplace, my oven would work just like my friend's oven. The odds of using both at the same time are slim, food for supper, fire at night with drinks.
