Step 14Veneering
I dry-stacked limestone blocks around the front and sides of the oven, just for looks.
The blocks across the top of the hollow space are held up by a couple of bolted-in L-brackets. I'm surprised they hold, but they were the simplest thing that could possibly work.

The instructions are fantastic and something I have been considering for some time. I have one question however, in step 14 we see the sudden appearance of a chimney, is it just rammed through the dome created in previous steps?

Yes, I didn't explain that very well. No, the anteroom ceiling was built up around the stovepipe in Step 12 (I left a rectangular hole in the ceiling just large enough to allow me to insert the pipe, and then I filled in the gaps with adobe. It shouldn't have worked as well as it did. By rights I should have had to support the pipe from below somehow while the adobe dried around it. In the event it held itself up there by friction and/or magic.
