A small stove like that might also be good burning some bits of coal, if available and cheap enough. A few pieces shouldn't affect global warming. :D I still think a damper would be good for slowing down the burn and holding in heat, even if you could only close it a little before the thing...
Looks good, nice job. I felt warmer just watching it. In combination with the air control, I wonder if putting an adjustable damper in the exhaust pipe would allow a slower burn and hold in heat? I suspect it would be a good addition.
Perhaps kiln mortar might work as well for the cement application, sold at ceramic supply places. Tolerates high heat and expansion and contraction without cracking.
