ok, made it with fire bricks, good so far, also made the outer shit metal to contain the insulation.
Now iam looking for some advice about the floor of the RMH, I have searched in the book and in the videos and not sure about how to continue, here is a photo to try to explain my self:

Maybe someone can point me to a photo, video or explanation about how to follow from now?

And here are some more photos, maybe you have some observation/correction/advice:

Thanks Glenn
Firebricks and refractory bricks are the same thing?
If they are not the same, which is the one in the photo?
With these bricks, how mach perlite/clay insilation do I need?

ok, so the metal sheet inside the heat riser is not a good idea, what do you think about the thinner fire bricks, they are 2 centimeters width

Thanks Glenn, I have experience with clay, but not much.
Yes, I have the book, the 3rd. edition, have read a lot of posts from permies and all the videos I found but I still feel insecure
Here there are some photos of the RMS so far:
This are the fire bricks:

This are the smaller ones:


What do you think is my best option:
The thicker bricks?
The thinner ones?
Do something with clay? (I think the clay I can get from my yard is good, maybe tomorrow will upload a small video showing this,I would like to know your opinion)
Or I may go with the two metal pipes? (I will upload the pipes photos tomorrow to)
I would love to know your opinion about the options, some pros and cons maybe!

Hello, my name is Juan (John), I' from Mar del Plata, a city in Argentina, in here we have a cold winter.
Me and my wife are moving soon to our new house and I am beginning to build a RMH and I have some questions that maybe some of you can answer.

First of all, I'm not an English speaker!! you will have to read with patience.

My first question, later I will upload some photos and more questions:

Here the fire bricks are expensive, I bought them anyway, buy now I wonder if a made a mistake (I can return them), maybe there is a cheaper ( and equally good or better) alternative?, I'm thinking about the heat riser, if I make it with to shit metal tubes and insulation between (perlite and clay) it would work the same? or perhaps with thinner fire bricks? here you can buy them, buy I was afraid that they where too thin (3/4 of an inch)

Thanks
Juan
