great!! i'll add more tonight ;)
 
Awwww heck, but granma hez been burnin' all her junk in it for years with nary a problem, just like it is. That darn thing really turns red when she burns all the christmas wrapin's in it.
 
Come on all kidding aside, the proper way to fix that is with duct tape... I mean geez :-)

If you can't afford the additional foil you can ask Cesar Chavez. He has a bleeding heart for those in need of heat ; )

Does he need to call 1-800-JOE4FOIL?
 
Is that epa approved? I don't see a tag.
 
I like the serpentine on the flue pipe, more pipe...more heat output and efficency. I would have thought a heat shield would be required for the close shelf installation. That is a shelf isn't it?
 
Use even more foil on the stack in the form of fins to act as a heat exchanger. Heck, we might have the new competitor to the PE Summit (and there is no baffles to warp :-P )
