Thank you very much for sharing and watching! There’s a lot of things we can be doing on our own to save money and become more efficient, this is just one more piece to the self sufficiency puzzle. If we keep trending towards a more expensive world, people will want to do more on their own to either save money or eat healthier. Thank you again for being a long time subscriber we appreciate you!

Excellent presentation! I have been looking at similar ideas for making my own bricks, but with a little more refractory aspects in mind. Looks like I'm going to have to build a similar kiln. Thanks for putting this together! I'm curious as to how many firings you will get out of those concrete blocks. Once they begin to spal and disintegrate you could always use them for a rubble trench foundation perhaps?

just got around to reading through comments I apologize, I try to get back to all newer video comments quickly. first of all thank you for taking the time to comment, and getting to the question answering : silica or alumina (manmade) are normally used but when were DIY-ING vermiculite is a relatively cheap solution. I am interested in doing the same lol the bricks we have now totaling 40-50 fired bricks are withstanding the heat pretty well. We've used a few for a backdrop and floor of the kiln through a few firings and they held up better than the concrete blocks lol. the concrete has done better than expected actually, the only crumbling ive had is when I have moved them to relevel the kiln itself. That's not a bad idea for using the broken down concrete as its inevitable that they will just disintegrate lol I fired a few of our diy concrete bricks as a test and the ones with refired ash (diy cement) disintegrated in my hands.. while the bricks made with raw ash, sand, and clay soil held up as good if not better than pure clay bricks.
