   Has anyone any experience of building cob chimneys? Idea is to have a liner faced with cob, either built in situ or from blocks and then smoothed and filled with the raw ingredients once the chimney is operating and able to heat the cob.

   No. But is sounds a sound idea.

   Think of pizza ovens - gonna build one one day, with a friend who ran a pizza joint in Italy. Remember my first taste, over there c1968 (still then a Fellini/peasant society) - everything since a pathetic imitation!

   I attached a metal chimney to my earth oven and then put chicken wire around it and then cob. Works well. But could have just done it by building up the cob to make a chimney, I just happened to have the chimney already.

   Thanks for your thoughts. The client (Mrs M) has changed her mind and now wishes to see a brick surround to the stove so there goes that idea. I would have had a problem anyway with getting the structural integrity to push the chimney through the roof and up however far is needed for building regs.
