Here are the 2 first pics of the underground gas route...

In the 1st pic, this is the kitchen and the bucket represents the rocket.
It is in between the 2 holes in the Wall.

In the 2nd pic, taken exactly from the other side, you can still partially see the bucket.
The 2 furrows are where the heat will be released on their way and back.

The good news:

1) I have found pumice stone (that now I have to fetch here)

2) I have found someclay, cinnamon colored, and the truck should come on Monday.

Xisca : Looks Good ! I know this has been a great struggle, only made harder by your remote location, and major problems that have made importing anything very Costly
and almost impossible ! Keep up the good work, and send us more pictures ! Big AL

Allen thanks, and you summerize it perfectly.
The craziest part is that an American forum taught me that La Palma island had pumice...

As I cannot change my floor level, we will do the heated floor before the stove.

I still have unknown parts such as the compared cost between iron pipes and fire bricks for gases. Bricks can cost more but last more...
