07:32 AM jym: rue_house: You know the funny thing, I had bought/returned this (due to the pipes being large end down which leaked creosote) but it burned cordwood no problem (when the door was cracked slightly) and it has 3" pipes... http://www.sportsmansguide.com/product/index/hq-issue-outdoor-wood-stove?a=1884248
07:34 AM jym: rue_house: I could buy it again and have an adapter made to do large end up

07:00 PM rue_shop3: jym, your not understanding the assets to wood fired heater design, my attempts to tell you aren't working
07:01 PM rue_shop3: my boiler started out as a pile of brick, I tried different modifications, and thru a process of learning what worked best, I ended up with what I have
07:04 PM jym: If I used 6" pipe, it would be a non-issue.
07:05 PM jym: But That raises my risk of overtemping the thin-ass drum too. and I just dont have the "safe clearance from combustables" for that.
07:06 PM jym: rue_house: But I have figured out that I could place baffles in the barrel and burn cord wood like the box stove does still using 3" pipe.
07:07 PM jym: rue_house: This monring I tested out that i's not a air volume issue I've bene having, but air flow/travel.
