No there is no insulation between the oven and the entrance structure. No thermal break it’s just an old school oven. The entrance is plain brick commons they are heat resistant enough for use outside the oven proper and most importantly have a measure of water resistance.
Fire bricks are definitly not water resistant infact will soak up the water real fast. Chuck one in a bucket of water chuck a common in another. The firebrick will fizz like soda water as it the displaced air is forced out of the brick. The common will just sit there....
Enjoy making your oven

Hi Dave
I used Hebel like you for my hearth insulation. Like you, I've found that the fire bricks coming to far out is a problem with the rain. The solution I've decided on (that works) is to have an insulated door and an "outer" door to act as a weather shield. I'm working on that outer door now. The temporary "test" one I cobbled together from scrap works well.

You can get a long way keeping any rain off the hearth but one thing you can’t fight is humidity. Firebricks just soak up moisture from the air. I’ve just come to except that some times your oven will damp regardless of your efforts.

G’day
If you fire the oven up to dry it don’t waste the heat. Typically the fire doesn’t burn for more than hour way below pizza temps and saturation and all those other things. But still I hate wasting that heat!
Anything you want to cook put in a baking dish and wrap it around in cooking foil so it’s completely sealed. Put it on a few of those crockery feet they use on pot plants to keep it off the oven floor and leave in in the oven for a few hours. Can’t burn as the oven is cooling off. Typically some meat goggle Greek lamb kleftico.
Here some foccasia just a basic bread dough really but has a cake like consistency. Looks a little pale cause it’s cooked under sealed foil but all’s good. Top with salami tomatoe onion and pop under the grill
