The thing worked very well. I even burned Bois'd arc (horseapple) wood in it. The thing may still be in service as I sold it in 1985.

You can cover the cement board with tile or a sheet of metal (copper, stainless steel...).

If you can make one out of a old water heater, can two be welded together to make a longer one for longer logs?. The reason i ask is because i own 80 acres of hard woods and can't see cutting the wood in such small pieces. I could put logs in it instead of small pieces. Where is the door to load it?

I come across so much scrap wood for nothing on my travels, though it is mostly softwood, which tends to burn too quickly. How could this design be adapted to suit my requirements, Suggestions please.
