Coal does burn hot, it probably shortness the life of the metal compared to wood, I had one in a cabin once that looked very similar to your stove, what made me think it could be designed for coal. I went to sleep once with the pipe damper shut too much. woke up gasping for air, not good. A...

The Godin looks like a coal burner.

I can see why that pooch would want to crash there. Good on Jasper.

Cheers

That explains it perfectly.

Do soapstone types take a long time to start putting out heat?

Merle, it does seem that driving down the road while spewing burning embers might not be the best idea. Guys here will drive around in pickups selling wood fire cooked sweet potatoes, done in rigs in the back of the truck as they putt through neighborhoods. They only drive like 5mph though...

Bump... Later this month I have a tree job planned with a friend, 110 Pines need to come down He doesn't have a lot of experience falling, but can use a saw well and learns quick and is very good to work with attitude wise. He also has a few interesting toys. Today he dropped off this Drolet...

If you do put your chimney through a wall, it's good to have caps on both ends of the horizontal so that you can push the brush through to clean, inside to outside.

You get better draw with a straight pipe, and it is generally subject to requiring less cleaning, and is easier to clean, is my experience.

Curling up by the wood stove after lunch has to be one of the more accessible pleasures in life. :) My dearly departed cat would have agreed that being under the stove is a good way to snooze. Being inside didn't work out for him too well once.

You just don't like to picture me in my shop with the shades pulled down eating all that delicious bacon!

Ha! That's what I thought too when I pulled it out.

I smoked some bacon in my stove yesterday... It turned out very yum yum. :)

They are marketing stoves here specifically designed for burning Pine, an abundant and cheap firewood, but disliked because the chimney quickly loads up with burned pitch deposits.. A different design from regular stoves, and are supposed to solve the pitch problem.

I think that it is hard to make a stove that measures up to the efficiency of a good commercially made one by a company with history. I can just about shove an entire small to medium sized tree into mine at one time, so it helps make up for it.

I wondered if you ever got around to making one of those? Not fancy, just basic utilitarian. You might recall me mentioning that I used a well tank cut in half for the body of the stove. That way it lasts.

My home made shop stove has helped to keep me alive for thirty years. Smoke a lot of food in it too. If I hadn't lined the bottom with bricks, no doubt it would have burned out long ago. It's not pretty, but some great parties have been had around the thing. :)
