36. As you are connecting each MASON-LITE component,
be certain you are following the instructions given
previously for using MASON-LITE mortar. Stop to look at
the smoke dome side, front and rear walls to see that they
are aligning correctly and that the surfaces are smooth
and uniform. Make sure connections are covered with an
adequate amount of mortar. Remember that you have
the option of using shims but they must be removed and
any holes filled. Make any adjustments to the fireplace
alignment before continuing to the next step.
37. Assemble Upper Domes (MFP63-11) and Dome Sides
(MFP63-7) as shown in
Figure 51
. Check your assembly
here. If things are proceeding as they should be, the
finished top surface should be flat and level.

38. Finally, set the Dome Top (MFP63-9) into position. Be sure
that it is flush in every direction as you place it on the crest
of the smoke dome wall assembly.
Note that the chimney hole on the Dome Top is not centered
from front to back - it should be offset closest to the rear of the
fireplace. (see
Figure 52
).

39. Now that you have completed the smoke dome assembly,
all the components should stack up for a smooth transition
into the flue components. Setting the smoke dome
completes the MASON-LITE Firebox and Smoke Dome
assembly. You are now ready to begin the installation of
the necessary fire brick lining and the flue components.
WARNING: DO NOT PACK REQUIRED AIR SPACES
WITH INSULATION OR OTHER MATERIALS.
