Heh I knew I had posted it in the wrong area, thanks for looking out and moving it to the right spot.
Hey thanks rockman19762001 for all you info on this. I am no Brick Mason at all and I was planning on hiring someone to lay the brick. Good tip on laying heat proof brick in the back area didn't think of that one.
I checked out that site looks good so far, now I have to think of a good design for this bad boy. I appreciate all your help and anyone else who replies.
