Has anyone put some kind of actuator on there stove that could be timed to open the air intake,I’m envisioning on super cold days where the coaling stage doesn’t provide enough heat I think if you had some kind of mechanical device that would pull your air control rod all the way out at say between hour 5-8 or something like that so when it’s time to reload all the coals would be burnt down allowing more room for wood ,I’m thinking this on a regular tube stove could be kind of a benefit during extreme cold snaps as we’re going to get here in Pa shortly just a thought
