Blocks don't crack?......
Other wise a cool idea.
While making the stove, knocking out the walls of the block I had 2 cracks sealed with pine pitch glue and after firing it up no other problemsQuote:

I don't know what the difference is.....but the old block were much heaver that the ones you buy today.
Your version reminded me or the Russian Fireplace with the masonry directing the fire, heating and retaining the heat longer.....like a heater for a shelter.

Cool idea for a stove. Thanks for sharing it.
Looks like just the thing you need for the activities you described.
Call it what you want. Rep sent for outstanding content.
I just wanted to point out it wasnt a real rocket, never to discredit the idea! No need to watch what you post or share... I dont think any of us want anyone to hesitate sharing something they think is a good idea!!Quote:
