Hi,
So I was sitting in my house awhile ago staring at the old alaska stove insert that was there for who knows how long. It had quite the appetite for wood as you would expect. So I got to thinking can I make this better? Well almost 1.5 years later ( too many projects). it's in the home stretch. I built a glass door, added a outside air intake (washes down the glass). and made a new upper baffle with afterburn tubes. Yesterday I fired it up and let it get hot and for the first time the flu temp matched the stove temp, I could see the gasses igniting and rolling across the top. I am quite pleased to say the least. But I was wondering something, I made the afterburn holes 1/8" Nut I think I need to go to 3/16". anyone with any input?
I'll post pics later. thank's for reading.
