Thanks Miles
Actually it is just Caralina clay mud no organic content(cob) at all; the base is made of old
concrete blocks stacked with loose fill dirt then the outside is about 2-3inch of mud done in 4 parts hand smoothed nothing fancy just
water and dirt(lost of clay content) the inside is also made with the same mud used to hold the fire bricks togethe in the tower. But thanks for the pointer about effieniency that is proveing so true this thing is unreal I will look at the article. There are still a few cracks but those are part of the charm the rest is smooth and clean to the touch.
