Chimney area

In order to close up the oven so to speak, I needed to angle bricks from the dome down to the door way angle iron.  This was done with a supporting 2x6 behind the bricks.

I also starting building part of the front facade at this time ( the red bricks )










The full bricks were mortared together and the top bricks were cut at an angle to match up with the dome and the full brick.

The sides were filled in with more bricks, creatively cut.  The outside look didn't matter, as long as the inside was relatively smooth.  Mortar helped fill in any gaps.  I also cut bricks  at an angle to provide a level surface for the chimney.
