[Stoves] Experiment anyone?

[Paul S. Anderson]

If cork or salty wood will not burn, can we use them in stove constructions?

Cork as an insulator. probably broken into small pieces.

Salt wood for leg and frames?

Have these things been tested with a blow torch?

Paul  (already in Utah on way to ETHOS, or I would have tested the cork 
already)
