Yeah, well... We haven't heard from Nedreck in some time. Shame that.. 'Tis a shame; I was hoping to see his results (in case you didn't know, I was the one that argued with him for hours on Survivalistboards and got him to start the project in the first place).

I got a few buckets of furnace cement and have a few bags of vermiculite. I want to build an insulative burn chamber cast using these two materials. The furnace cement withstands up to 2700°F. So how would I go about casting this as one piece? The casting would be about 1.5" thick... I've watched videos of using a vibrating table to make the cement settle into all of the nooks and crannies of the mold and to reduce air bubbles. But am I correct to assume that vibrating the mix would make the vermiculite float to the top of the mold?

I've been wondering the same thing.
I'd still insulate it with at least a couple of inches of vermiculite...
