Planning to put a Royall wood furnace in my shop. Thinking of ways to make it more efficient/burn cleaner. Add secondary combustion tubes/air? Think I recall hearing about this but wanted to see if anyone has done it successfully.

I've played around with adding it...getting it right is not easy...although some models might lend themselves to the mod better than others. Personally, I would buy a model that has it already.

Already have the furnace aging in the shed. Going in one way or another. Its already got a shelf(not sure of actual term) to direct the air/flue gases toward the front then up and back out. Still might play around with some stainless tube. It also had an induction blower. Going to switch that out for a temp adjusting damper.
