So leave one side as is, and take the other side and go off that hole for a secondary burn system?Looks like a simple secondary air port introducing air at the front of the baffle. This would be to introduce air right at the flame turn around point. I'd be tempted to run a manifold off that hole to feed a drilled tube or two under the baffle for a more complete secondary burn.
So I called 4 local glass shops today....$100 a sq ft! So this price you got here...is HALF of what I've been able to find. I'll be going to onedayglass for sure. Thank you sir.Just to get a rough idea of cost I priced out 1/8" pyroceram cut to 10" x 12" with 1" radiused corners. That came to $51 each at www.onedayglass.com
Hell no. I'm doing all this to replace a pellet stove. If I have to listen to fans ever again, I'll go batty. That's exactly what I remember hearing around here about reclaimers.LOL. Safer than what, an open fire on the living room floor? A stack robber is going to cool down the flue gases. That can equate to creosote buildup. And the fans on these units are noisy. Is that what you want?
