I make an aircrete rocket stove from blocks. I also test refractory cement mixed with lava rock and perlite as two aircrete substitutes.

He is watering his homegrown aircreat

Next time try milk carton bottom, filled with sand, when dry empty sand and push flex carton out of the finished piece

Patience, Grasshopper! It is a virtue. 😁

i think your problem isn't bc of foam, but lack of sand, sand is what gives strength and structural integrity, cement alone is just a mortar

For keeping slabs wet, I've seen burlap laid overtop and kept sprayed down. The burlap keeps the wind from directly evaporating water out of the concrete. I think you could probably use cardboard as well, but it might stick to the bricks if that matters to you.

If you screw thru the ply from the back, forms will last longer with threads into the wood, rather than plywood.

Really good idea to flame uncured concrete and use irremovable water expandable internal mold blocks. 😂

@QuietRiverBear

You can wet cure the bricks in a stock tank of water as soon as you can safely strip them from the forms.

For things that need sufficient curing time, we better stick to the time it requires, so you can save resources, labor and time to cure it, again. In my previous workplace, my supervisor didn't heed to my advice regarding these, causing more money to rectify, wasted resources and wasted manhours to redo the same job again. It's costly and tiring to do the same job twice. TBH, I got heartache seing what you did, maybe because of my previous experience. Please don't mind me for that 😂

Why cement the blocks together? Without the added fireplace-mortar your construction would surely have lots of very useful expansion joints, which might help reduce cracking of the blocks over time. It would have other benefits, like making it much easier to repair, and much easier to move the whole thing to a new location if needed. Thanks, and keep up the good work 👍

Once you have hydrated your cement when mixing you don’t what to drown your pored concrete with water it will heat up as it cures. You don’t need to worry about surface cracks like a sidewalk or driveway slab. If anything cover with damp cloth like burlap so it can breath. As it cures it heats up and has to let the moisture out. If it east to get to hot you will loose strength. If it cools to fast you loose strength

Some things just cannot be rushed. I'v really enjoyed watching your progression of rocket stoves.

A tapered core ( flat pyramid with 20° taper each side) would pop out easy, or two face two face in a stack, or a disposable soft styro core. Can't stop thinking gotta get moving. Stay green!

Interesting use of the word brittle. Crumbling is the word I would use. Appreciate the demonstration of what too much foam looks like. Very helpful to see your process.

great build. I bet if you make a couple of good skim coats with reinforcing fibres in it could hold together well enough to be portable as it would be quite light
