In the following video link, titled "Tiny Homestead in the City Grows Half a Ton of Food Per Year",  at 8:30 of the video it shows a wood burning stove that has what I assume are heat holders on each side. Can someone give me ideas what material/s you think they are made of?


As an aside, the video was enjoyable to watch.

They look like earth bricks with a clay plaster over the top, very clever.
I am looking at stacking clay fired bricks around mine.

Hi Annie;
My guess is those are cob.

The `cushions` and the hearth look like cob to me.

Cob and earth bricks are very similar, cob is handfulls of the same material that can be used in earth bricks.
Earth bricks can be easier to build narrow walls with.

Thank you, everyone, I appreciate your responses! I thought it may be a clay and/or cob mixture, but the slight sheen on it had me unsure.
 
I'm so happy! And I wish to make this tiny ad happy too:
