one comment says -You should also use fire-bricks as concrete will explode if heated enough

One comment in the video below says-“ You should also use fire-bricks as concrete will explode if heated enough.”   So we want to be sure any CEB bricks used to build stoves are totally totally dry.  If there is any moisture inside that could be a definite problem when they are excessively heated.  So one must proceed with much care in using only very dry bricks for stoves.  They still may crack and fail under the heat.  We learn from our experiences.  Be cautious though when using very hot fires with lots of fuel i.e. logs and twigs – that may destroy the stove or is a potential source of accident.  So be cautious as one use any new stove design.
