working on that... looking at using Schiedel Swift Air to sort air supply too, but Swift air can be used two ways- https://www.schiedel.com/uk/products/ceramic-system-chimneys/swift-air/ look at recessed vs freestanding, either of which could sit within the external chimney area I have to play with.

Just re-reading this one and I've a query- is there any reason why the inner skin of this kind of buildup (my own is somewhat similar) can't use thermal blocks?
