Good news: I cooked my first pizza (practiced with a DiGorno).
Bad news:
I think I had the fire too close to the front, it cracked the veneer. 
I strictly followed the curing fires. I guess half inch veneer is too thin for the front of the oven.

Crack or no crack - that is a BEAUTIFUL oven.
Flashback to that Jerry Maguire movie “You had me at hello”… You had me with that CLASSIC Red Brick Veneer. I LOVE IT! It just screams Wood-Fired Oven!
And I really like that metal door frame!
Could you send more pics of this build so I can share them on our photo gallery?

Thanks very much @BrickWood. I need to finish grouting the brick veneer on the pedestal. Once done, I’ll clean up the site and upload pictures of the build.
The black metal flange hangs down 3 inches from the edge of arch and 2 inches above the edge. I had a local welder / metal shop make it for me. My intent is to reduce the size of the opening to retain more heat and hopefully force more smoke up the chimney.

Hi @BrickWood, I uploaded pictures of my project. Hopefully the quality of the images is good enough for the gallery.
Thanks.
