Hey everybody,

Any experiences with this sort of stoves ? I surely hate to wake up to refill the stove 2 times a night. Thinking these self feeding stoves might do the trick.

Would a pellet stove be something suitable?

What keeps is from burning up the tube?

I think the supply tubes are sealed, then the airflow will direct the fire up the flue exhaust, and the tubes will be filled with smoke or CO. Nowhere for gases to go if it starts combusting.

It will nicely bake the wood before it reaches the fire. But the moisture thus released will likely corrode those tubes from the inside.
