Brian! How dare you! Such a forum faux pas. I'm just kidding man, but whoa this thread got heated up quickly. I personally never felt it was a spam thread, really enjoyed the video and love that the inventor chimed in on this thread. That is so cool.
Here are my questions to the inventor, Lloyd:
- Is the lack of door gasket part of the natural air intake of the stove. My secondary burner has door gasket but also has a few air intakes that are always open to keep the unit from smoldering.
- Is there a reason besides budget that you left the bolts visible and a part of the aesthetic, instead of welding the front? Again is this a part of the intake (assuming that there are air gaps at the joints)
- In the video HARDWOOD was pushed as though you shouldn't burn softwoods in this unit. Is there a reason for this? Many wood burners only have access to softwoods and have been burning softwood for generations.
- Do you heat your house with wood currently? If so, what appliance do you use to heat your house?
I look forward to your feedback. Good luck with this. I think it's cool that you have the balls to put something out there that you have obviously worked very hard to create.
