Up to my plenum!

Here goes gang, I have some great progress and great news! I am ecstatic and sharing with the hope that it's contagious. Like anything, take what you want and leave the rest.
Caveat, I am working 62 hours a week and driving at least two if not three hours per day, and spend an occasional weekend with my son, sssoooooo, you can likely infer I may not be the best at verbose replies, steady updates or the like, but I have a window and some free upload time, so put this in your rocket stove and smoke it!
I live in Maine and was having trouble finding local clay. I purchased the missing ingredients through Portland Pottery 3.5 hours away, but it's where my son lives so that worked out...

I found fire clay, then the red art and grog to fabricate cob to line the bench piping.
That was the final round of ingredients so I built the core core, note the attempted tripwire and swoops at the end of the burn tunnel and turbulator.

The tripwire is pointing the wrong way, the back end swoops should meet in the middle and the turbulator could be bigger and higher.
BUT, this is a prototype and one of our first rules here (do we have any Matt?!) is RELAX (and have a homebrew or something if you like)
Posting now so as to not loosing progress and will add more momentarily!
WHOOT~p
