have a divider that separates the upper (secondary air) and the lower
(primary air) parts of the stove. When the control is rotated the air would
be directed up or down or some fraction of each. <!--?xml:namespace prefix = o ns =

to use a round stove body. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>A
square stove body has a better/larger/safer footprint than round and
eliminates the need for feet so the extra material for square may not
increase the total cost.<O:P></O:P></FONT></FONT></P>

worked well but they are not commercial duty enough so I am now <SPAN

could use a standard size steel tubing if forming the piece is too
difficult. Another option is to use two controls, one for primary and one
for secondary but one control is half the expense of
two.<O:P></O:P></FONT></FONT></P>

tell us what is on the inside so that the out, in, up, down, left, right

are there "partial" flows such as 30% down, 45% left with 25%
