Building a new wood stove, dimensions as follows :
54 " tall; 30" in diameter; hot water coil takes up top 24";
bottom 8" inches taken up by shaker grates, which leaves me with a firebox
approx. 30" wide X 32" tall
Would like to use fan-induced draft but not sure, may be normally aspired
Would like to add secondary air for combustion, was thinking of using stainless steel barbecue grill flame manifolds for secondary air injection manifolds
1) When running secondary air for combustion, what percentage of air do you think goes through secondary versus primary? 2)Do you start out with all primary and switch some over to secondary at a certain time in the burn?
(Would need to know to fab air induction valving)
3) Don't have glass door so do I need to add a peephole to see if secondary combustion is working or not ? 4) Do my manifolds need to be above a baffle or below a baffle ?
Any and all comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for help, trying to get this project buttoned up and burning.
