If this was built indoors, with the insulated concrete base, proper distances to combustibales, etc., I think it would work well. Last a long time as well.

I scavenged 11 pallets of bricks, so this would be buildable using the clay mortar made from local clay. The firebricks for the burner, however, is still a bit of cost.
