Has anyone tried to introduce forced air into there stove when the fire has died down and your left with a bunch of hot coals?
See the idea is that hot coals wont keep your stove at 600 plus degrees with just the damper open and the draft from your chimney, what if you could introduce more air using a low pressure blower that you can manually turn on or have it automatically come in when the stove temp dips below a certain paint? is there such a add on or has anyone made a custom stove with this feature.
You would likely have to load your stove more often because the coals would burn down fast, but it would be great on those really cold days when hot coals are just not enough. i think pressurized air over enough hot coals could easily bring the stove temp back up to atleast 500 degrees or maybe more. Is this unrealistic? Thought and opinions please.
