The chimney went up today. Still waiting on the cap.

david s. Even if it does, it kept the insulation out of the gap.

That position is too hot for the high temp silicon, but you may be lucky.

[Chris inPA]

Insulation is complete

[Chris inPA]

Laid a bead of high temperature silicone between the inner and outer arch before the p-crete insulation layer.

I made a jig/form to help me keep the spherical shape

[Chris inPA]

Insulation installation began today... I'm trying hats to keep it spherical.

Ope-dog it's a piece of Limestone that I shaped with the angle grinder. It's not brick

That's looking great. Your off-color keystone also adds some nice variety. Did it just work out that way or did you scorch it or something to get that dark color?

[Chris inPA]

Decorative arch complete as of today.

If it doesn't rain I should have the p-crete insulation finished this week.

Great job Chris. You really got your dome done fast. I am impressed. Mine took 6 weeks. I really like the different color fire bricks. It looks really nice. Looks like we might be making pizza soon.

Here are the pictures of the transition from inner arch to outer. I notched the bricks and lined it with a strip of ceramic blanket. An expansion joint that isn't mortared.

I started building the base for the chimney. The bricks are beveled to sit on the arch.

I finished the brick work on the dome Sunday.
