The refractory was trowled onto a 1/4" x 1/4" mesh form. The same mesh use for the wood support. Re-bar wou;d be better for supporting for the firewood but this is what I had on hand. The refractory is mixed with water like cement and is trowled on one section at a time and allowed to set up. Building several at a time would be more time efficent. The weight of this unit is only 27 pounds. The ceramic refractory is rated at 2500 degrees F.&nbsp;<a href='http://picasa.google.com/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a> <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22005365-113961724891671976?l=safedrinkingwater.blogspot.com'/></div>Rusty Shupinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12362484506245424617noreply@blogger.com5
