I cut all my bricks without a saw just a diamond bit in an angle grinder and brick bulster ( wide chisel especially for brick).
Its do able, but dusty work, your going to need a proper resporater not one of those paper hobby things. Mostly though its the brick bulster and hammer for most of the dome ,the top requires smaller cuts. To cut down the dust at this stage soak your fire brick first in a bucket use the grinder to mark the first inch or so of your cut then hit it with the bulster and hammer.
Would I do it again? Yes....done it twice on other ovens.
Does it take longer? No.....even though I am in awe of some of those beautiful cut brickwork ovens ( check out Gulfs)

Anyway thats my take on it
Regards Dave
