Very nice build Cedric!
I can't see your photos very well, but what I can see looks good.
A piece of aluminum foil across the top and face of your door opening will help with the smoking back into the room.
Are you planning on creating a door for it?
As the water dries out your draft will improve as your mass heats up.

hello
right now I'm using 3 bricks as a temporary door, do you recommend replacing it with aluminum foil?
I would like to build a very simple door, without glass, I have some questions:
What is the percentage of primary air compared to CSA? where in the door?

does the door need to be insulated?

the ceiling of the combustion chamber is a cast iron plate, as can I make the door frame

I'm almost ready to wear my first BBR door
