I used screws to secure the stovepipe sections (my new drill bit wasn’t as good as an existing one I dug out) and a clay slip to seal gaps. A little steam that smells earthy? Way better than burning plastic and adhesive…
The inside of the stove is now lined with two layers of ceramic fiberboard (quite the puzzling exercise!) and some firebrick to help it stay in place, protect it.
More heat is going into the bench/water heater, steps in the right direction. While not as hot/efficient as a rocketstove, simplified and smaller footprint.
