There's a lot of homebrew going into the gaps. The second thermocouple is in now. Attachments:

I had 5 burns on my hands - 2 on one hand and 3 on the other. They were painful and I have started wearing gloves now!!

I've contacted that there Ebay lot and it appears you may have a calibration issue. If you get back to them with all the details of your meter and probes, they'll sort you out. You may have just got unlucky. Good luck, and it's really a lovely build.

Great pictures of your progress. Those final rings and keystone get a bit difficult. This is the beauty of having a decent diamond disc blade in your angle grinder. If correct is the word to use, then all the rings of the dome after about the 3rd ring should be cut in a trapazoid fashion (shamferred on all sides) ....but, not all of us (including me) can splash out £40 for a diamond disc. This is where a bit of handywork with a lump hammer and a decent 4" bolster comes into play.....often by cutting 2 or 3 wedge shaped cuts in the same ring will avoid that awkward last brick.
After much research (mostly from the experts on "another" WFO forum, the general feedback is that homebrew.....even in wedged perps will be as strong as the fire-brick itself....as long as those perps (or...perpendicular joints to give it it's correct meaning) are tightly full of homebrew.
.....shan't be long now before your first pizza bash !!!

Thanks Danno & Terry.
I've just logged on to re read the sponge tip Terry wrote as I've had my head in the oven (a song in there somewhere?)

I'll wring the sponge out better now - nearly drowned myself in cementy water.
