I guess its a kind of first try. I have previously helped my friend
make some 'fire in a box' type wood stoves. I am making it to serve a
purpose, which I guess is where the complication comes in.....

I guess its a bit surplus to requirements . I was thinking it would be
handy to be able to see when it needs refuelling without opening it up.

I've got some thick plate I could use for this part (I could fabricate
the stove so it can be easily replaced. Alternatively I've been told
a friend has a pallet of the bricks out of storage heaters (which I
guess could take the heat?). I could possibly make the throat area
from them.

You mean the upright with the 'bleed hole' at the top?
Why?
How about twin sheets of steel, cavity packed with rockwool?

I'll post some pictures/videos and stuff.... You are in the UK too, I
guess you could see it sometime if you want.
