7” in. From Paul’s gesture it looks like he’s saying you put angle iron going one direction and then another layer of it across that, 90 degrees to the first layer. So forming a grid as viewed from above. That makes a lot more sense than the picture I had in my head from just listening to the podcast. And that’s more angle iron than I have, but I think some angle iron supplemented with the barbecue grill will do the trick.

I figured it out!  If I click on Paul’s YouTube channel and then click on “livestreams” it comes up.

Would a barbecue great serve as a reasonable replacement, how do you balance stones on angle iron, do you need to be able to levitate objects in order to accomplish this feat?

The search algorithm on YouTube is just not cooperative, I found out that there were about 5 million different people hawking different brands of wood stoves.

What you probably don’t want to do is forget about it till after the next windy day. Lesson learned.

What do you do with the ashy paper after? Is it still toxic? Burn again in rocket ? Erica and Ernie, help!

Mineral wool wrapped around  seemed to do the trick, though it released a lot of toxic stuff into the air.  Next time I’m going to do the paper clay layer first and then put the mineral wool over that.

They’re not super specific in the book about how thick of paper should be, but I think I should’ve put several layers of paper, one layer just seemed to dry out super fast and then burn.

Wrap it in rockwool is another solution from donkey boards. Hm.

Also add waste oil to the fire.  I tried that one first but it’s still not hot enough to do the top part of the barrel without some kind of insulation. I guess I’ll try the rock wool

Exactly.

However in my case, even though I have my chimney in the proper position, I’m not getting more than a third at the bottom burning off. The main problem is that the paper dries out really fast and then catches fire before the paint can burn.

Probably the other issue is that the top of the chimney I have has a really narrow piece for fitting it into another section of chimney, if I can figure out a way to remove that then the whole thing will draw better, but I’m not sure I can remove it. Even without that, though, it seems like it’s getting hot enough. It’s just not staying wet long enough for the paper to do its job also, I’m not sure if I should’ve put more clay into the mix for soaking the paper, it looks like I’m just getting water but Hard to tell in the dark now. Maybe I need to slosh the clay water around where to stir up the

The hot air will be pulled up the chimney so it won't heat the top section of the barrel.

("Intentional Community" is the best fit I could find but not a great one for where to post this, I recognize, but the theme of the show and the real experience of being on set together for a shoot both are forms of temporary community)


--climate and sustainability are top of mind every day

--the show is about ten parents raising one child, with simplicity and sustainably, in 2025-2038

--ideally everyone comes to the set by bike or on foot--and somehow this saves money

Thanks for considering it.
