Our neighbour is renovating his very old home and dismantled the chimney. Unfortunately, he's not willing to part with the bricks, but there are about 7 2-foot x 7" x 7" chimney flue liners that are game. After looking at Dragon Stoves' designs, I'm wondering if these might be useful. 7" seems small for bells and I doubt these would work for a heat riser, but surely they have some utility for an experimenter, no?
I'm not sure what material they are made of, but it isn't terracotta-like. It looks more like cinder-block material.
Any suggestions are welcome.

I'm thinking I best interpret the silence as, "Those flue liners are best used as flue liners, and only in an experimental setting, not in a permanent residential installation."

I believe Satamax used them to make the body of a Peterberg Batch Box but I have no idea how it's holding up.

The issue is going to be that they won't allow for "free gas movement". They're too small in volume to make for good bells.
There are a lot of other uses though so if it were me, I'd grab 'em up.

I was thinking about these a bit today. At the very least, they would work nicely in the thermal mass in a rocket stove. Too bad there aren't more of them. Come to think of it... I've got at least a couple of projects in my notebook that could use a chimney.
Yup. I'm going to grab them.
