Because rain was forecast for Monday, and because I haven't had time to water-proof the dome, I decided to throw a tarp over the oven. In the past, I have removed the flue pipe, and placed it inside the oven, so that the tarp fits snugly.
On Saturday, when I tried to unscrew the flue pipe, I pulled the metal plate that attaches to to the oven arch off with it. Seems like just cementing this in place with refractory cement is not enough. I guess I'll be picking up a few masonry anchors this week, and looks like I''l be drilling, holes in the bricks and res-seating the base plate with some furnace cement on Saturday -- weather permitting -- as more rain is forecast.
