I've been back through the photos again, man, this thing is going to be a great heater. At first glance I didn't follow the flue path properly, I like it! Those brick plates making the flue path, very cool man. One suggestion if it's not too late...Make that last chamber, the one that couples to the chimney, accessible. You will want to be able to clean that out easily, and inspect the chimney seasonally. These things can create a super light fly ash "web" structure that can eventually obstruct the flue runs, even way up there. Make sure you can get to it and clean it. Otherwise, man, I love this build. You are going to have a good time finishing it, and I'm sure it is going to be a warm winter in your house next year.
