Re: 39" Stargate Pompeii
In the end I didn't make the arch any deeper - maybe I'll regret that apagios. I copied the vent opening idea from Sharkey - although he had 12" bricks and so wider vent. It was easy to do this method since I had already tapered the bricks. I cut them in half and reversed one half so that it starts to arch outward at the sides. I am regretting I didn't cut 1/3 of each brick and arch out the 2/3 to give a wider vent, but I had the bricks cut before I thought about it. You can see also that I used Gianni's idea for the stainless steel strip. It is laid on vermicrete - I put it down while it was still wet.
Now I have to figure out how to either make or attach a flue
and I am also worried the opening wont be big enough. It is roughly 4.5" by 9" at the top. Will it draw?
