I don't know, but I was told by one of Dick's ex-dealers that there was ground up lava rock in his Secret Soup.

The concrete truth.. This Portland ain't no city in Oregon |

Denial ain't no river in Egypt and this portland ain't no city in Oregon!
As I hired RJ's work force.. there is nothing I don't know about three years of his production here in Indonesia.
And yes you heard correctly.. His secret formula is common portland cement using crushed volcanic cinder (lava stone)
as an aggregate. While albeit a very cheap formula, it seems to usually stay together at high temperatures..
Money where my mouth is..
Don't believe me... drill into one and have it tested..if it's not primarily portland cement, I'll pay for the test and give you $1,000. I can't say that he has not changed the formula but test any cooker made during the 3 years he was in Indonesia.
From his reputation here, he would not have gone to a more expensive material if he was not having problems with his cookers. The problem with a very dense material is that it's difficult to get the trapped water out of the material, hence the long slow break in time.. |
