Those are actual spider webs. I should dust more often!
Kidding aside, I really like the design, especially that it is a closed stove (far more efficient than an open fireplace!) but you still get to see the flames.
Any type of bricks will do fine. All I am looking for is MASS. Basically, anything dense/heavy can absorb more heat than lighter materials. (On the other hand, insulation tends to be very light-weight materials, with trapped pockets of air.)
All I wanted to do was add some mass to the system. Steel drums of water behind the stove could have worked too, but I didn't have room for that.
Water is GREAT for absorbing heat. I have still been toying with adding some mass in the form of water, haven't quite figured out the best way to do it yet.
