Check your indoor stack thermometer. If it reads lower than the air in the room, you will need to prime the system by putting lighted newspaper into the base of the stack. Choice and Use of Paper Remember that it’s the heat riser that makes this thing work, not the exhaust pipe. So in normal operation, to heat up the riser quickly, I like to first prepare two or three sheets of dry crumpled newspaper, (not tissue, thick paper, glossy paper or cardboard). With practice, you can get away with two full sheets.
Don’t let any smoke get into your living spaces. Even tiny amounts are bad for * you. If the stove ever smokes, open all the doors and windows. Don’t repeat whatever it was that caused it. Anything hot close to wood can be a problem. If you build above a wooden floor, * leave at least a three-inch air gap under the whole combustion unit, glue aluminum foil down on top of the floor and use a minimum of four inches of mineral insulation under the stove and the whole of the heat storage. Over time heat can build up at the bottom of heat storage to a high temperature.
Sources would include masonry building materials suppliers. Avoid horticultural suppliers, as horticultural grade is very porous and takes up a lot of water. Perlite comes in big plastic bags.

You can do this with your bare hands, with an electric paint stirrer, or with a wooden paddle. I like the bare hands method; I enjoy the feel of the clay between my fingers.
