Re: Jamie's build
The brick enclosures are at the High Hand nursery in Loomis, CA between Sacramento and Auburn, in the Sierra Foothills. Definitely a fun place to go to be inspired about landscaping.

Re: Jamie's build
Thanks for all the compliments! It makes me feel like I'm on the right track to hear encouragement from people like yourselves who have been here and know the uncertainty... "am I really doing this right?"
I was leaning toward a version of a gabled house, but now I'm not so sure. There's an example on the fb design style page here from San Gimignano that is giving me inspiration, and I'm wondering now if I just want to copy it even more closely and do a modified igloo.
Then again, I recently saw a couple of really nice brick enclosures that caught my eye (and my wife's as well)...

Re: Jamie's build
It certainly cant hurt to put another tile on,, And It should improve your draw as well,, go with it, better to do it now and feel better about it than being unhappy later....
Cheers

Re: Jamie's build
I'm feeling the same way... I need to double-check the measurements, but I think that one more tile will put me at the right height.

Re: Jamie's build
Looking good! I think you should go higher on the chimney. You should be 2 feet above any structure within 10 feet for code.

Re: Jamie's build
are you going to enclose the dome ? If you are I would go a little higher, if not it looks like your fine,, you are far enough away from the garage the smoke shouldnt bother it... Building code however might be another issue,, Nice brickwork,,,

Re: Jamie's build
I built the vent transition the other day, and am contemplating chimney issues and design styles. I am torn between a high-sloped igloo, a brick enclosure, modified gabled house, or some hybrid combination of the different elements. It's hard to put into words, but I am envisioning a prominent chase protruding from the front of the oven; behind that, things are a little murky. Our design vision has altered over the course of the project, but now we need to nail down the details.
I think I mentioned before that I wanted a full-width vent transition, since the area between my arches is rather shallow. So, I built a sloped-sidewall box to support the chimney, with the weight being taken primarily by the two arches and to a lesser extent the front of the dome (although I suppose, really, that ultimately transfers to the inner arch as well). The main goal was to get as smooth a transition to the chimney as I could.

Yeah, me too. I figured, it's tradition, I might as well!
