Very good but let dry completely re: New brick stoves
Bob Chalice
P.S. New Pics attached. Would less bricks be used if placed on their smaller 4” side on bottom? That would save bricks. Would stove then still be completely stable? That’s another question for a future build i.e. how to totally minimize number of bricks.. We may also try to make “fire brick” in the future by mixing in 1/3 straw into the brick making which may be burn out for a lighter insulating brick. Also we may need to better control/limit all air to prevent vigorous fire over-run. This stove must always be outside and well-ventilated to guard against any carbon monoxide. Tx. Bob
Thank You Shree, Please tell them to be sure to let this rebuild all dry for many days before firing. Otherwise it will crack or worse maybe explode. Complete drying is essential for safety and durability. I like very much what they have done. Grate will bring air under fire. I think that is terrific – we’ll see for sure in next burn test. Minimizing the number of brick used is excellent plan.
Thank You, Bob

The larger stove has been remodelled. The large number of CSEB bricks might make the stove expensive . Each small brick costs 25 cent and larger ones 45 cents.
