My Aunt had an odd beehive oven in a late 1700s house. It was not connected to the chimney so you couldn't light a fire in it, but if you had a fire going in the main fireplace as well as the adjacent sitting room it got hot enough at the back to bake in.

It doesn't matter; while these guys have great knowledge you have to remember these jobs are known in advanced and they do research. No that's not a bad thing or a dig; you want a contractor that won't assume and will look; in the case of this show they likely have several researchers(Or really by researcher we mean many masons to ask/ask local masons to job/check local codes etc and usually even code places will be like "Remember to check if house is X years old for Y and Z! If Y do A, if Z do B! etc). I mean he might know it and great if he does; but this isn't controversial and is a good thing.

Im about to embark on such a journey in my c.1800s house. So many questions!!! 1) What about the rest of the mortar in the beehive oven? What condition is it in? Any cracks or leaks? 2) What about the condition of the rest of the chimney? Is there a chimney liner? 3) Is a type N, Portland-based mortar the best choice for a chimney that old? Many antique chimneys used an oyster-based slack line, correct? I heard that they have different thermal expansion rates and you should follow suit with the original mortar type. Thoughts? 4) Are the fireplace and beehive oven flues connected? Mine are. I was wondering if there is a relationship between running them at the same time or running one at a time. The opening for my beehive oven would only require a liner about 4-4.25 in. In diameter (which I don’t think they make them that small for solid fuel burning). Thoughts?

That was before sugar was outlawed in 2078. I've read about that!" "Yes they lived very differently. Oh look at this! This flooring was called beige tile, it gave the appearance of being clean without actually being clean. Infact the entire home would be beige to hide dirt." "So people didn't clean their homes then, they just hid the dirt?" "Precisely Xandar. You have to remember it was a primitive time."
