> 25% fine sand – I used plaster sand sifted to keep out rubbish

> Enough water to make mushy, well mixed mixture

> Final Mix
>
> 1 volume primary mix
>
> 1 volume fine sawdust – screened to remove large particles

> I then formed the final mix into triangular shaped bricks, dried them and

> pipe for the inside.  The mortar pipe fitted into the furnace outlet pipe
> fitted to the bottom of the cone. Mounting the furnace on bricks (to let air
> in from the bottom), we made a serious covered fire inside the refractory to
> cure the lot. It has come out very well. Anyone looking for photos, send me
> a mail and I will email them to you direct.
