FINDING AND SELECTING CLAY

Ron Larson and Richard Boyt, June 2003

Stovers: Richard Boyt and I are having a discussion on making charcoal-making stoves out of clay. Richard has sent me a new paper design below. This note is only on my own progress - which Richard has been kind enough to continue.

Initial Design Concepts:

1. Wide bottom for stability
2. Main body, grate, skirt, lid, cast lightweight ceramic.
3. Preheat and control primary and secondary air.
4. Remove pot, skirt, skirt top, chimney adapter, chimney for grilling, frying roast, etc.
5. Fuel holder, chimney and adapter metal(?)

Hello stovers.

Greetings from Pottershop Hollow in the SW Missouri Ozarks where last week tornadoes did their damndest.
Sunday's blow just missed us by a few miles as did the storms of the rest of the week. Two years ago the
farm got hit by several small tornadoes that uprooted over a thousand of our larger trees.

Background and overview

Recently, success has been achieved in making insulative bricks for stoves. My work here seeks to answer the following questions:

1. What are the thermal properties of these bricks? The properties of interest are density, specific heat, and thermal conductivity.

A larger Juntos that could probably serve for a small bakery.
