Like the title says, I'm a new member, but I have been creeping the site for a while. Lots of info here. Great site. Seems everyone is quite eager to help each other out. I'm in eastern Ontario, Canada if anybody was wondering. I can see New York State from my front porch.
So... I do have a couple of questions. 1. When using firebrick in your build can it be 1 1/4 thick ones or should it be the 2 1/2 thick ones. I ask this because there was a recent post on kijiji in my area for a skid of the 1 1/4 x 4 1/2 x 9. The person is selling at what I think is a good price.
2. I have half a dozen sections of used insulated chimney, the stainless type (Selkirk). Can these be used as a riser in the build inside the barrel or will then burn up too quickly?
Cheers from the north, eh!
