Re: Starting my build
Those pictures are a great help. I have never heard of the elephant's foot analogy, but it makes sence. I like the idea of putting morter around edges of the pcrete, or I may wait to put some refractory cast material as a border. I may just slap it onto the side without a form as the pcrete is rough enough that it should hold / stick well to morter or cast material.
So... I have a dumb question... I have a compound miter saw with which I am planning to use to cut the firebrick like this. What type of blade do I buy to cut the brick?
Or, do I just use a hand grinder, which I have, but again, not sure which blade to use. (I assume the miter saw would be easier to make accurate cuts with.)
