Actually, just checked and this one has a valve on the chimney which can be closed when the wood is set alight.
This will help keep the heat in, but more importantly help keep the flames in too, until they are embers then it can be opened again.

Is that tree branch to the right being removed?
When the flames get high enough, yes.
I wasn't going to, but if I find it will be a problem then I will.
I'm not sure the flames will come out too much as the chimney has a valve which I can keep closed whilst flaming and open to regulate the heat when its at the ember stage, plus the oven is insulated so shouldn't lose much heat from it body.
Well I have now painted it, and its ready for the oven and for a marble/granite work surface at the front.

To get the oven on I am going to make 3 A frames (laid on their side) to edge it up bit by bit.
Its 72 stone, so wont be a one man job.
I will put wood across the 3 every so often as a holding point, so it doesn't slide back down.
Ramp ready for delivery tomorrow.
6x 4"x4"x6' fence posts.
I have cut notches in the bottom posts to stop the top ones moving under load.

It appears this thread has now become a reconstruction on how the Pyramids were builtdata:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
Might do then at least if anything goes wrong I might get £250 back from You've Been Framed.
If the whole lot collapses backwards, whose fence is it?
(joking)
Mine, I put it up.
The fence will probably collapse well before though data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
