Re: K79 Oven Build
sorry it looks like perhaps I misunderstood your measurements....
Not sure what you mean by vent landing? You mean the flat bit that the SS chimney vent plate sits on? If your opening is 41 sq in and you are doing your best to taper into the 7" diameter hole then I think you will be good.

I would be interested myself in reading other responses from experienced builders/users!

Re: K79 Oven Build
Ok final dimensions for my vent:
(Using a 4' x 7" ss double wall chimney)
Oven opening: 200 sqin
15% of oven opening: 30 sqin
7" Diameter Chimney: 38.48 sqin
Vent opening unobstructed by inner arch, outer arch, and anchor plate for chimney: 34sqin.
How do these numbers look to you guys...?

Re: K79 Oven Build
I have 4 rings left. I'm hoping to be down to my last two by the weekend. Question: My last two rings consist of 13 and 10 bricks (on paper) so is it ok to put in my 13 ring layer and then put my 10 brick layer in right after or should I wait a day and let the mortar set on the previous layer? Same question for my keystone.
thanks

Re: K79 Oven Build
I see your tapered arch paid off dividends.............worth the brain work out?

Re: K79 Oven Build
Fish hook and weight is a great idea.
Nice top of the arch brickwork. I wish mine looked that good. Another fine example of the benefits of the reaching arch design.

Re: K79 Oven Build
year you were born??? ouch!
do a single pointed brick laying vertical and adjust height and angles to mate with the brick height on either side of this transition brick.

Re: K79 Oven Build
That would do it. Could also do a single pointy brick in the middle, figuring that the next brick over the arch is going to be funky anyway.
