Hello Steve, <br><br> In UlaanBataar Mongolia for one example there are times where electricity is not available, then you have the off gridder, and my total paranoia that even here at home we could be without power for long periods of time. One of our local power generating dams is horribly compromised structurally, should it go it would send millions of gallons of water rushing downhill toward Seattle taking out every power translator station in it's path. This could mean many months before power could be restored in many area's. This is why I wish to not rely on power at all if possible.<br> I have worked out my stove problem by two methods. One was to "wrap"my flue pipe raising it's internal temperature creating a better draw, the other was getting more activity from my secondary combustors which in turn accomplished both a better (cleaner) burn as well as providing a little more temperature in the flue.<br><br><div><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Tue, 18 Oct 2011 09:25:28 +0100<br>From: steve@thetaylorfamily.org.uk<br>To: stoves@lists.bioenergylists.org<br>Subject: Re: [Stoves] High mass space heating options Re: Rocket Stove for the PLACE<br><br><br><br><div class="ecxgmail_quote">On 17 October 2011 22:08, Fireside Hearth <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:firesidehearthvashon@hotmail.com">firesidehearthvashon@hotmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="ecxgmail_quote" style="border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

Hi Steve.....<br><br> I have tried that, and it does work......but........I'm trying desperately to stay away from all electric options. I did find this morning that my combustor pack was losing heat to it's outer shell and not developing the temps needed to stay clean and solved this issue which might also solve the other. What I am wondering is more along the line of chimney diameter vs temperature. Different diameters have different velocities which could result in different temp ranges. I am also putting a second section of pipe around the chimney on top of the roof to raise the temp and this seems to be helping.<br>
