[Cob] Double walls

[Buckaroo Bonzai]

Jane,
  my tip to you for better performance is to just do a
single cob wall and put all the insulation on the
outside.  This would give the thermal capacity to
provide you a good comfort level and also the
insulation on the outside would keep the heat from
leaking out.
