Cerbu Ulea

I mounted the old  door , just had to cut the ash door and reuse it as cleaning hatch, the rest of the frame did fit quite good on the airframe, without obstructing the air slits

first fire , no door yet , just some twigs

a dry stack to count the bricks, I need another 50 pieces

ty, I hope this days I finish bell's wall and fire it lightly

I am sure the design is good , the tests to run the heater I look forward to. Newish town for me here, hardly know anyone. It is quite solid ,bent from a single piece of cut pipe , except the the small piece above the inlet , that could indeed fall if the tape fails. Should l just make small curing burns and monitor the temperatures, or just wait to weld it myself?

the seal between the frame and the core's edge it is half inch super wool, but as for now I still got no weld machine the frame is two piece cut and bend pipe sealed with tape , hope at least it lasts the tests

what temperatures am I to expect in the air frame? for now it is sealed with  tape rated 175 degrees Celsius

this is the core covered in superwool

nice , mine being a sidewinder affects somehow the position of the top lighting pattern , or the position of the air slits?

I'm splitting an oak and a horse chestnut tree I was given this January, would this piece be too big ?
