I hope you like it, reviews are appreciated.
Welcome to permies, guys.
Your stove do work, yes, but there are some niggles in it.
You
should use insulation material around the combustion chamber and the riser. Earth isn't good
enough, better to source some vermiculite or better still, perlite. A building materials outlet probably will
sell that stuff. The mild steel stove pipe inside the riser won't last long when the stove is running properly, a stainless steel duct will function longer. The same cross section area throughout the stove is another important point.
Still a very nice job, cleaver arrangement of fire bricks and sidewalk pavers.
By any chance, are you located in the Netherlands?
