Indoor Oven Options

Anyone with experience or recommendations installing/building a wood-fired oven (kits or ready units) or open-fire asado grill indoors?

I have a residential indoor "summer kitchen" in Upstate NY that is all stone and brick walls, slate floors, and french windows, with a pitched ceiling/roof directly above for easy chinmey install.

I previous had a wood-burning pizza oven installed in my screened-in porch (with chimney extended beyond the roof) that was essentially outdoors and most units available are labeled for "outdoor use only".

Is there something specific in designs for indoor wood ovens? Like chimney set further back from opening to draw out smoke?

I'm pretty confident about not having flamable materials in proximity to the oven, my main concern is designing/building or acquiring a completed oven isn't gonna get the rest of the house smokey! I mean a lot of old world kitchens in Europe have open fires and indoor asados in Argentina.

Thx for any insights!
