Dan Woloz :I'm giving you a link to our sister site Richsoil.com and a whole series of videos, 3rd from the bottom is an adaptation to a regular
wood stove to promote
more heat distribution of the
wood stoves heat,, note that this does not burn as cleanly ! Link:

You can also take a look at the work done by Kiko Denser with a masonry Hat onto a small box
wood stove !Link here:

The problem with what you want to do is the
wood stove will not burn clean
enough and your bell is where the unburned hydrocarbons like Wood tars and Creosote are
most likely to settle out onto the interior wall of the bell ! You may have better (or Worse) with the masonry hats !
For the good of the craft ! Big AL
