please comment about the greenish flame exiting at the bottom of the port , sometimes it's blueish.
Could that be ignited CO ?

are my preference, in about 4 days I start using the mash in smoothies or in cooked porridge, there is nothing inedible inside , no need to sieve , filter nor decant. Also I use no starter , it sours just fine (will water , leave tap water overnight)

I like this ferment too, I use a gallon jar half filled with  oat flakes and /or wheat flakes, or other cereal , then fill with water leaving headspace, cover with a plate or a cap not tighten, stir daily as some float

2 tons I think its a  fair guess, fire bricks seam heavier ,  3 kilos each?  some in the top bell plus the core , the sand was say 10 buckets, and the old terracotta tiles count I think, is it a good number? It stays warm 36 +  hours this time of year, but one fire a day I prefer now

please help me calculate the mass of my stove , single skin yet, it has aprox. 400 bricks at about 2,7 kilos each , the core has thin mortar but in the bell's walls there is a lot of clay & sand , add also the number of the fire brick in the core , which I did not weigh

'I’m thinking of a circulating system that would solve the problem of it being colder further from the stove'
I had the same problem , my room was way colder than where the stove is , my solution was a 200 mm pipe with a fan blowing air from the top of the bell where there are 26-30 degrees C  2 meters through a hallway into my room , which is now heated furnace style, the air returning through a grill low in the rooms door

I have an experiment going in my shorty, I  used some old petroleum coals with spruce on top , they are for other types of stoves , they do not burn the right way but they still give off heat, after the spruce burned I left the inlet mid way , and hours later the egg coals are alive
