Perhaps a bit late to mention but just thinking that the perlite your putting between the chimney pipes is going to settle after some time. Wondering if wrapping it with rock wool wouldn't be easier.

No sand in the mix correct? We are using the clay rich soil we have. Finely sifted with no rocks or gravel. This will hold up correct?
Think we can start test firing inside tomorrow. Any suggestion on length of burns for the first few burns? Length of time to rest the core between burns?

Peter, would you mind putting your "plenum" picture into this thread?

Just that pic from the inside, and a link to your build discussion is perfect.
Thanks.

A CFB core is good to go as is. No perlite/clay needed. That's the beauty of it. 👍
Burning time is variable according to person. Fast and hot burns tend to promote thermal expansion quicker leading to cracks. Not a big deal as you can wet the cob and smear over them mostly.
Some cracks will occur no matter what you do though. No worries, its gonna happen but since your not at the finishing coat yet, all the cracks will be covered up again anyway.
I also remember Matt saying that he never waits, he just lets er rip.

Hey Satamax,
Sure! Think it’s best to wait until we’re all sure it works, but more than happy to share.
Buried the metal “wing” of metal on the manifold, that I cut and folded out, in cob.
A bit concerned that the inside of the cob wall will crumble if that piece of metal moves due to heat. Let’s see.
Was debating weather it might be better to cut that piece off and stack fire bricks or CFB there instead.

Also, can't remember if you have a cleanout for the second half of the barrel bench.
Gerry Parent wrote:For your barrel, once polished if you add a drying oil or even cooking oil to it, the barrel will shine and make it look a lot more classy. The first few fires will make it smoke and stink a bit but will quickly fade. A similar process to conditioning a cast iron pan.

Well I think your dad is right, but he may have other things in mind for the oil other than the barrel? :)
