Yeah. silt is NO GOOD. And the stuff can fool you into thinking its clay. Well, I'm sure the potters clay will work. You just gotta find the right mix.

Cheap kitty litter is clay (wal mart)...not sure if it will work for your purpose. I have no reason to test it as all I have to do is dig a few feet down and i have all kinds of clay. I have a rain dug trench that has dug itself down far enough that i can just harvest clay from the ditch.

I believe the kitty litter has to be the clumping kind. I think the type of clay is called bentonite. Good luck.

Um,,, was in the grocery store the other day getting some dog food and happend to look at the cat litter bags in passing. It said it was 100% natural clay. If you didn't need to much at 3 or 4 dollars for a 30ish pound bag would not be a bad deal if it would work. Being "pure" clay you wouldn't need that much. Or so my thought went. Would it work?

Dunno.. Buy a small bag, do some tests and find out. Let us know how it goes.

I was planning on doing that.. Once the weather breaks. I have no inside space to work on something like that so it will wait till spring.

So how did the 100% natural clay kitty litter work?

I got away with 4.5 bricks over the burn tunnel, I could have done 3.5 but that means the burning wood would have been right against the steel drum (and this is with the drum offset away from the wood loading hole with the heat riser right up against the inside of the drum).
