People have posted pictures of their insert or wood stove burning and the bed of coals but I have never seen one of an OWB. Here is mine.
Also I have heard all the pros and cons on a blower assisted draft on OWB. Since my stove has a blower I am of course on the pro side. Here is a picture of the foot deep bed of coals in my stove after 14 hours. Since the blower kicks on and gets the temp up so quick, when the damper closes and smothers the fire down it turns any unburned wood to charcoal.
Sorry about the quaility. It was taken with a cell phone.
