A guy at the brick store I called said all I would need to make basic refractory cement is fire clay and refractory mortar , and it should work for use in a simple small charcoal foundary/furnace. Can anybody on here who has built one before verify that this will work right ? Ive seen where people put some other other additives in it but Im hoping its not necessary due to cost.
I have a small galvanized trash can with lid to line the inside with the cement and am planning to put a steel pipe through near the bottom at the charcoal and use a hair dryer for a blower. From what Ive read that "should" ( hopefully) get hot enough for smelting black sand and pyrite. The other question is do you think this will work for what I want to do with it ?
