      Thanks. It's really moving along now; I am really feeling the need to get it done.

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

          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.

              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....

                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)...

                  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.

                    Along the lines of the San Gimignano oven was this one from Pennsylvania; A combination of the two, with a vertically-sided, conically-topped igloo and a tall, curvy chimney chase, might be just the ticket.

                      I like the brick work on your base, if you enclose your oven with bricks I think it will look really nice.

                      I would have a shot at the answer, if I had the appropriate question.

                        Jamie,
                        I really like the first extended igloo... Very cool,, Now Im thinking how can I redo mine like that... good luck with whatever you choose... The only advise i can offer is start cooking pizza first, then decide
                        Cheers

                          I had to figure out the enclosure before I figure out the insulation before I cure before I fire; hence the deep debate here for the last few days... we want that first pizza without (more) delay!

                            This is the vent transition. I think I did a pretty good job in making a relatively smooth, steep throat into the chimney... we'll see when I actually put smoke up it, right?

                              Wow, that looks great Jamie.
                              The brickwork, the corner installation, it all looks really nice. I like your black-pen outline of the tall chimney on your 1st pic with the short roof "ears". It looks particularly elegant. Also, good attention to the full-width vent opening. Even though you're less than a brick deep, you have a good, tall vent transition with it so as Mark said, another bit of height on the vent and I'm sure it will draw just fine.
                              Can't wait to see your 1st fire (however, please take your time and start slow).
                              Cheers, Dino
