Thanks everyone for all the info on the ceramic blanket.

I thought this moment would never get here. All that's left is to cut the plug and my dome is closed. I was hoping for tighter joints but once I went to 3rd bricks the spreadsheet angles were way off. Regardless í am very proud of my work as this was my first brick job. Thanks everyone for getting me here.

Thanks guys for the encouragement. Larry I have not plugged it yet, I plan on getting it done in the next couple days. Next gotta start on the vent and outer arch which will be another challenge.

My outer arch/vent landing almost done. Waiting on my chimney anchor plate to finalize vent opeing size. Having a flared entry is going to be beneficial but was a pain to build the outer arch. I also cut an 1" L-knotch on the bricks to rest on inner dome arch. Thanks everyone.

Finally plugged the dome and entry arch is done, waiting on chimney anchor plate to build up the chimney. I had 2 heat lamps on overnight and barely reading 150°. Thanks everyone. Ivan

I covered the entry with the arch template and sealed the entry with a towel and got temp up to 250, will leave the lights on for a couple more days.

Good idea with the brackets supporting each wall with the archway - I was going to comment on that, but you addressed it! I am going to use 12" Concrete Block in to support each side.

[ivancito]

Thanks Yeager, your build looks great. I also plan on wrapping the the soldier course with 1/4 metal fabric at least to the full height of the soldiers and use homebrew to lock it in. I'm hoping this will act as a buttress to help support the soldier course. I will post some pics when i start the work.

I had to add 4 corner supports for my supervent, the flange holes were too close to brick edge. I also beveled the inside face of each corner brick to help smoke transition into the supervent.

[joeykramer]

looking real nice! what is the measurements of your vent opening? is that a duravent plate? im looking to source a plate myself, just curious.

Thanks for your reply, my vent opening is 10"X10" I got the stainless steel supervent from Menards for $26. Also ordered a 36" length class A pipe.@joeykramer
