I’ve for some years been somewhat hooked on stoves …
I’ve fabricated more than 10.
The first ones I did were gas bottle then rectangular then square stoves with simple holes for air intake
I realised after making a few that I wanted them to burn cleaner as I liked glass in the door.
I found it necessary to find a way to channel the incoming air through the stove so it gets preheated…
Also I found a secondary air intake was crucial to reignite any smoke at the top of the stove trying to escape up the chimney.
I also found the firebox shape and size v important in relation also to the diameter of the glue pipe.
Insulation in the firebox made the box hotter then when up to temperature some gasification can occur..
It’s quite a science I think…
I am still learning and experimenting![Thumbs up :thumbsup: 👍](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f44d.png)
