Re: [papercreters] earth oven and use of papercrete

Would you put the papercrete on the outside of the bricks, away from the fire?

Kim,

 

The Papercrete would be used over bricks.  The idea is that it would help insulate the oven and help it to maintain a very high temp.  Do you think papercrete would do as well as adobe or work well in this situation?  Thanks.

Greetings,

I have seen a papercrete fireplace. The recipe was 1/1/1 of
paper/portland/sand by weight. It lasted for one season and started to
crumble, but it was not lined with anything, the fire was lit right on
the papercrete. It was a silly thing to do, as the only place any heat
radiated was the opening, the rest was too well insulated but, in our
warm climate, for a single person sitting in front, it was nice.

Bright Blessings,
Kim
