I am new to the forum, but enjoying the knowledge and experiences shared, I love this stuff! I have a question about different materials after reading about cob ingredients. I have used Hardi-Plank fiber-reinforced concrete siding on my house, the kind they sell at Lowe's and Home Depot, etc... and was wondering if anybody has tried using this stuff as a burn tunnel or heat riser?
Yesterday in the rain my kids helped me make a brick rocket stove that worked ok, but the bricks were wet and cold and it was a bit windy out. We had good rocket action and bad smokey smoldering action as well. I used patio pavers as a rudimentary material just to further my education and get the kids involved. They thought it was cool, but getting rained on in the back yard could only be so much fun.
All in all, I'm trying to build our educations one brick at a time and the forum is an awesome source of information, thanks to everyone!
