        Since *sometime* I'll get my oven built, I find this interesting.
How do you stack up the bricks so the tube doesn't get kinks in it
where it slumps over the corner of a brick?  I would expect the tube to
be "too straight" between the bricks, and then "too bent" where
it passes over a brick, but this must not happen when you do it.
What's the trick?

        Thanks!
