Note from David Moore:
I asked Scott to take a couple of photos of the bottom end of the "beginner
heater build", hoping that we could cite Marcus Flynn as the inspiration
for the corbels.
Maybe you could mention Marcus’s influence on heater facade design?
“Corbeled bottom inspired by the work of Marcus Flynn” for the
first photo, and perhaps, “Thank you Marcus for setting such high
standards, we will keep trying!” for the second less flattering photo.
Overall this was amazingly good work by beginner heater masons!

Description by Steve Bushway:
- 18” x 27” inner core for minimal cutting.
- stepped in throat to about 4 1/2” across and a flat floor with 2” x
15” air slot in the front.
- David primed the flue while I layed a top
down fire. It burned smokeless within a minute! There was a stash of
wood inside the barn that we used which was a big help. I wish I’d
thought to include a snip of the stack exit. The glass stayed clean the
whole day. The eco-firebox may produce great numbers but this simple
contra-flow is no slouch!
