Thanks Alex, how many firebricks do you think you'll use? Trying to work out how heavy it will be!
Where is the second bell going? On top of the first through to the first floor?
Look forward to seeing the door/cleanouts - have you cast those yet?

I have used until now about five hundred bricks(+/-3500lbs). I might use about six hundred for the first skin. Code here requires having two skins, both skins will be built out of refactory bricks. I ordered two pallets and a half so 1250 bricks. It is not supposed to stay much when finished.
The second bell will be on the second floor. Very similar to what Mr. Radek realized.
For the door I opted for a traditional Austrian models that I will adapt. I asked for a quote to make casting. The price was very affordable for a production but a bit expensive for a single door. Furthermore the production time was about three months.

I had a little time to work on it yesterday. I finished the slab ledge and installed the insulating ceramic fiber pannel.   |

Why three layers?

The first layer is the ceramic fiber insulation I put it to send more heat to the walls of the bell. The second layer is of refractory slabs that serve as a ceiling. As the second bell is over the first and it is smaller by half, I think she is having a lot of weight on the middle of the slabs that's why I put the other slabs for more strength. Perhaps this was not necessary but I prefer to prevent...

Oh OK, I see now, I didn't know the upper bell will be smaller and the wall would go down the center.
What are you going to make your second skin of?

Second skin will be refractory bricks too and lime plaster for the finnish layer. thats a beautiful build Alex,congratulations. Well thank you Mr.Radek! This build is very inspired (if not copied) from your previous build. |

Does your code require fire bricks for the second skin, or could you use normal bricks?

Usually they build the first skin with refractory and the second skin with brick or stone, again depending on customer wishes.

Um, what’s the chimney for this look like?
The smoke must be fairly cool by the time you’re done with it.
