thanks for the detailed answer, i really appreciate it!
so since the chimney is very encrusted i will opt for a 19cm system
also since one part is not insulated and it is not possible to do so, how should i count this in the isa calculations? the absorbent surface divided by 2?

Brandon Hands wrote:Very cool. I was thinking of designing a similar thing. I was considering the idea of using 85 gallon "salvage drums" which have an inner diameter of 26 inches (66cm). (Repainted with a high temp wood stove paint)
I hadn't gotten far enough to solve a method for connecting them together once stacked, but there might be a kind of band that could join them.

Scott Weinberg wrote:4) The use of the steel exterior cladding I can see have many benefits on the building ease, does it serve as a quicker heat dissipater?

I am curious if the temperatures are high enough to allow for a modification to add a white oven.
