a whole lot of us wont exactley have access to a kiln to fire bricks. there r a lot of other stove designs here on tube that r much simpler and work as well as this stove.
@aproresearch If you put ridges in the mold for a monolithic structure it would crack on the grooves rather than randomly, so you could prevent cracking that would cause the internal structure to fail.
Since you are making the combustion chamber out of molded bricks, wouldn't it just be easier to mold the whole combustion chamber as a single piece? Is there any reason the whole stove could not be made of a single molded piece with perlite poured into voids for insulation?

Why can you not use regular bricks?

Making bricks is a lot easier than making a monolithic structure that would want to crack. Bricks provide expansion joints.
