Very sexy video, for a very ugly stove....there is the fantastic Wittus Twin-Fire
That's why it's so expensive. You just can't find legs like that at Walmart or Tractor Supply.Very sexy video, for a very ugly stove.
thanks joful ,so it is a system that does work if implemented properly
Everything I have read indicates your statements are true, with respect to downdraft non-cat stoves. However, don't forget the Jotul and old VC downdraft designs were catalytic stoves. I have one of my Jotuls cruising at 380F stovetop right now, and the flue temp is 160F. Low enough for ya'?It is sensitive to draft, so the range of draft conditions in which it works well is probably narrower than for other stoves. Even when it works well, the high temps for secondary combustion can mean higher flue temps than for other burn technologies. That doesn't mean excessively high, but could mean some unwanted heat loss.
Since the stoves like to burn hot, they are better for cold weather, 24/7 burning and not as good for milder shoulder-season burning.
The old VC downdraft stoves (Defiant, Vigilant, Resolute and Intrepid) were not catalytic. Are u sure Jotul cats were downdraft?
