How do you build a "floor" in the chimney during slip casting.

Then you start thinking about slip casting exactly according to Zingos https://www.byggahus.se/forum/varme-allmant/43297-egen-glidgjutning-godkand.html variant.
But since I will be using an exhaust air duct that runs all the way from the basement, how do you cast a floor at the inlet for the flue channel, which will be at ground level, i.e., 2m up from the basement.
Best regards,
Lars

Brick up the connection in the basement and fill the channel with suitable material up to just below the new floor (Lecakulor are very practical as they weigh so little and come in manageable bags. Sand/gravel also works). Build a new bottom with some bricks and lime mortar/C-mortar or cast a bottom that is 10 cm thick in concrete.

I would wedge in a piece of plywood as a form 10 cm down, nail in some mortar to seal and fasten the plywood with, and let it dry.
Then lay the remaining mortar and make a nice curve on the channel.
But that's just me.

Lovely to get a quick response from you! Now I have a rough idea of what to do. However, I'm a bit uncertain about the connection to the chimney. From what I've heard, you must have 60cm to the nearest combustible object. What do you do if the chimney entrance and the wall next to the chimney are too close to each other, as the chimney and wall are built flush, if you know what I mean?
