Build is looking good. What kind of mortar are you using? The color is quite a bit different than the homebrew I used.

Wow looks like you are making a lot of progress. Keep up the good work.

Thanks. I did leave a gap, based on recommendations found here, Been lurking for a while, the dome is steadily going up.

Yes make sure that you have the expansion gap. It is very necessary. I had heard the same thing about getting the peel stuck but I think it might just be a rumor. I have never hit the back of the oven so I don't see getting it stuck. But I did a half solider course to prevent it.

Make sure you have a gap between the floor and the wall. The floor will expand faster than the wall when burning, and you need some give there to prevent it from cracking the walls. A strip of corrugated cardboard should be wide enough.
