            Hi guys has any of you used a pumice chimney liner or know of someone who has. Im just weighing them up against a twin wall they are alot cheaper but I want full belt and braces and worry about it crackng so should I just stick to the stainless twin wall to be safe? The money doesn't really bother me at this stage

              Lee.......I am not personally experienced w/a pumice flue liner, although I did look them up. It seems they work just fine, although insulating the air gap is recommended w/them, as I understand it. I think they would work fine, but if you feel more comfortable w/the double walled stainless and don't mind the price difference, maybe go w/that. I imagine that whatever you decide, it will work fine. Best of luck!!

                I went down to the merchants to check them out I needed to get a length of 900mm and is was way to heavy plus like you say Carl they need insulation so more weight. so I got a twin wall ordered and my 2 chimney pots I also got 2 of the pavers im going to use on the patio and round the oven to use as a start for a crown for the chimneys also some impregnator that is food safe so I can use it on everything counters the pavers and the concrete that will finish the chimney crowns I got 5 packs of the stuff so I should have plenty its called meta cr?me this stuff is meant to be the best on the market ive used it once on a slate paving job and it was fantastic ?60 a pack so it bloody should be. I got the holes cut out in the pavers ready for laying tomorrow weather all been good for the paver that is going on the oven chimney I cut a line all the way round the outside of the paver for a water drip. the over paver for the fireplace wil get the same treatment but I need to trim it down first and I used the anchor plate to draw around giving half inch gap around the twin wall that should just pop through the paver. then just entering the bottom of the chimney pot (it just fits with clearance) that will be mortared to the top of the paver.

                        I cant wait for that carl I have been cooking at home now for 15 years and have covered most aspects of food. true wood cooking was all that was left to venture in my eyes that was 7 years ago but after scrolling this forum all them years ago reading the now old threads I saw how much work was involved, I knew I would move house and didn't want to leave that behind so I waited, hence the title 7 years in the waiting.... I finally moved to my forever house (never bloody moving again) unless i win the lottery ha. Ive got so many recipes to unleash on the oven but im trying to wait until im all done still a bit to do but im getting there.

                        I got the fireplace /bbq chimney finished today so I have a matching pair happy smile topped out

                        I also got some half bricks on the fireplace floor for an edge later filled the inside with a vermiculite mix at around 8 to 1 with some white cement I had left over from the day I got a thickness of 70 mm leaving it down form the top of the brick 75mm giving a 10mm bed for my firebrick floor I will go with the herringbone layout for that

                          That's quite an impressive project you have there, Lee. You should be very happy w/it. Soon, you'll be cooking and will be able to sit back and enjoy all the hours of work you put into it. Congrats!!
