I added them to increase airflow there's 1" gaps in between them. I was trying to get heated air to circulate through the center of the rotors, you can actually feel a slight amount of air flow and see it when you put a piece of paper over the holes, but that could just be normal heat rising. I cover the tops with old parts from the original wood stove, that was here when I bought the place 10 years ago, to try to retain some heat. I have to get creative a lot with this property, it was built in 1770 (chicken coup to garage conversion was in the 1970s). The prior family had it for a few generations and has sent me the old pictures they had from the garage conversation. I have just under 2 acres, I'm always finding items in the nooks and crannies... Especially when I have to dig for projects.
I'm going to try to put the rotors directly on the top to see if there's a difference at some point... Once my wife stops getting curbside found Christmas decoration for me to fix and she wants a light/sound christmas light show this year! I got off topic... lol... Some people have to-do lists... mine is a novel!
I appreciate the input! The members are great here!
