Love the radiator....makes sense now. All that aluminum and handles makes me think you'll have to have a roadie...ha ha just kidding,.... nice Matt! signed,thickstrings, one of the orphans...

I have posted this before ... http://www.permsteading.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=601 It is not plugged into a mass, but I don't think it would be hard to do.....It is small and portable. Maybe a bell for holding heat rather than a bench. The problem I have with a 4" is the every 20-30 minute feedings...This system would probably be OK for a small insulated area. ....The metal is sacrificial.....it will burn out.... Perhaps Mr. P Van den Bergs batch box would work for you....

Sounds like you need MORE chimney, not less....up over the roof of your house....10' away from or 4' higher than any thing close......

I believe the stove will act normally...It would be an advantage to insulate the inside of the stove with fire brick and or a castable refractory....also the outside of it as well, notice ,they used some type of ceramic fiber on its outside, so as to get as much heat to your exhaust to run the bench...regular concrete in the bench is ok...read the article for particulars.....its no rocket stove, but, it will heat a bench for extended residual heating. and you get to use the stove that you have.....I don't think that trying to make a rocket out of the stove you have is viable. You will have a iron box with a insulated riser on top with a barrel....

http://www.skylinecomponents.com/CeramicFibercoating.html Can any one coment on this product? Thinking of using it on 2"CF board for a heat riser...just thinking, so far..thanks

I am talking about a "castle tower" masonery heater...The clay flue pipes are way expensive.

Hello, Just wondering if there are alternatives to clay flue pipe in the building of a 6" bell using a dragon burner...brick and clay mortar? thanks
