A little wisdom, build like your going to melt iron, but take the time to learn on aluminum first that way you only have to build once

DA

This is my plan, I'm looking to use refractory materials capable of the cast iron temperatures.

I like your tempreature test with the rebar, would the same work with a 5mm rod of ally?

I tend to work in that way anyway, that is over speccing everything so it can handle several times the stress it needs to. I'll stardom collecting materials soon and hopefully start building in a few weeks. Got my holidays at the end of this month so nothing will happen until I get back.
