It's a homemade refractory cement made with Portland cement, fire clay and perlite.  There was a top with a hole in the middle  also that was not on in the photo made of the same stuff all of which I let dry for a week before using.  The refractory only lasts a dozen firings or so before you have to replace it but it's cheep.  That's not a heat gun it's a blower that I used dog food cans with both ends cut off to hook to the furnace :LOL:  I like trying to use whatever I have at hand in my projects spending as little as possible and most of the parts come from my  collection of salvaged items

I assume that that isn't working well for the furnace. :GA:

I'd sacrifice my furnace for one of those melted metal things too, if I was smart enough to know how.  :tard:

There is only one truth and it is that people do have penises of different sizes and one of them is the longest.

What do you need a diagram for? Don't worry about safety. :autism: Take a spare metal container, stick a Sonotube in the middle of it (leaving a bit of room on the bottom) and pour some cement in between them. Be sure to leave a pipe (or like object) in place to blow oxygen in. :viking:

I like your style, Parts!!
Jimi Hendrix: When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace. 

Ghandi: Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.
