I'm going to try and make one from your model. Can you tell us how it's held up these 6 years? Cracks, etc.
also, did you mold pieces in sections, use refractory mortar on outside of sections to seal the seams? If you made another one, would you do it the same way? Or would you do brick body? Thanks
