[QUOTE="PLAYINWOOD, post: 4491811, member: 7082"] 15 years ago when these things were all the rage we were discussing all of the different styles,stainless vs boilerplate, firebrick vs none, because these things were only lasting 5 years or so. One of the old boy welders filled a paper bag with water, then put an acetylene torch flame to the bag. The bag did not burn ,the water boiled instead. Lesson learned? if you surround the firebox with water it will dissipate all the heat. he said if he ever built one,it would be a box within a box,small auger on the bottom surrounded by water on 5 of 6 planes. The door being the 6th plane was never discussed.I see the Heatmor door is jacketed.. a baffle for sure in the firebox [/QUOTE]
