I'll forget that idea then.

My blacksmith friend who is doing the build with me has some kind of
dense ceramic blocks/bricks she got from an old cement kiln. A few have
survived in the bottom of her forge without cracking. I'm thinking I'll
give them a try.

Unfortunately I'm not guaranteed to always have a ready supply of water
and I'd like the stove to be able to work when water isn't 'on-tap'.
If I cant make something ceramic work, or find an alternative material
that can take the heat, I'm thinking I'll duct the secondary air through
a jacket around the throat.
