[Stoves] Heat / cook stove - proposed design

It looks great but are you not concerned about for lack of a better description , "back burn" up into the hopper as the back combustion chamber wall gets hotter. Long a go in this list there was mention of a Canadian inventor who developed the idea of back feed like your stove. Anybody recall the person ? Maybery ?   Another person, from the US part of the Americas , tried the same idea with vertical stacking of the fuel (in this case hollow core briquettes) and had pretty good success as long as the hopper lid (feed tube in the case of the briquettes) was absolutely kept airtight. In both cases air feed was thru separate vents, not the hopper.

Dear Darren

Good to hear your project lives. Are you really going to stack the fuel across like that? It should work really well if the orientation can be maintained. 

Fuel hoppers often have a downward step wider or a taper, the taper depending on the fuel. Alex English's pellet feeder has the opposite and there is something to learn from it but only for small fuel particles. 

You have so much right it seems you are only left with the fuel feed issue. Pretty good going.

Crispin
