Today was an attempt at something a little bit different. You've heard of AirCrete (Hebel). Well, today I made my own.
My bbq bases I made for NEMAS worked a treat and looked great, but the radiated heat was a bit of a problem.
Solution: remove the burnt timber, route out some supporting structure for the crete and replace the cavity with heat resistant AirCrete.
This now needs a week to cure and then final heat testing before I do this to the other sides.
