[Stoves] 4 pictures for you

[Dick Gallien]

Hi Crispin,

It would be a cross draft, with the preheated primary air coming down
through the 4, approximately 1" pipes, that enter a few inches from the
base.  The pipes have a right angle and I mentioned to Bruce Wolfe, who was
just starting USA Sedore, that the 4 pipes would be easier to clean,  if the
right angle  was eliminated.  He agreed and said it would  also be cheaper,
so may have changed that. My 4 pipes must be partly or completely plugged,
in that it is always run wide open and we usually have a nail or large bolt
holding the feed door partly open, making it a down draft.  It has an 18'
straight stack, with insulated stainless on the outside, so draws well.

There is no grate, just a few fingers protruding half way down, into the
approx. 3+" gap across the width of the floor of the firebox.  It couldn't
be much simpler or  efficient, yet all my long gone farmer neighbors, heated
with the most in efficient wood stoves and furnaces, often with large,
uninsulated homes.
