Initially some of this is older technology of down drafting the smoke over the hot coals. Technology VC used in the mid 80”s One could think this was just a new way of packaging old technology, Right?
Well they have not achieved .7 grams of emission with old technology. This is a completely new technology. The entire refractory package has been upgraded with newer stronger more heat resistant materials capable of withstanding 2700 degrees. Its normal operating temperature is 1700 degrees.
Taking a step back, one also has to explain the newly designed firebox. First is the shoe located on the bottom and back made out of insulated refractory. This shoe has air holes that injects air and super heats the smoke exhaust as it passes over the hot coals Another rear insulated refractory package panel is used to insulate the special refractory secondary burn chamber behind it and to direct the super heated smoke into the secondary refractory burn chamber. With in the chamber again air is added and in reality a super mini blast furnace is created, where all but, 07 grams of smoke particulates is left for exhaust. Secondary air is still thematically controlled Even the exhaust ports location is changed normally the exhaust leaving the secondary chamber exits to the top and flue. But this design has the exhaust ports on the side aiming down. Well its so hot it still will rise but why? Because it holds the smoke longer in the blast like secondary chamber, to completely burn as much smoke as possible. Finally what is left goes up the chimney
IF one had 3 stoves with the identical fireboxes holding 2.2 cubic feet, they all would produce the same BTUs from the same load. Some will burn it faster and produce shorter hotter burn times while others produce longer not as hot but productive burn times. But there is another way more heat can be squeezed out of the wood consumption. Burning secondary smoke. In this case this Ever Burn system does it best. The remaining, or lack of them, .7 emissions is the tell tale proof. The thematically controlled secondary air inlet aids the productive burn time. Tradergordo was bragging about his burn times, well here is why. Most rake their coals forward to take advantage of the shoe super heating the smoke it is best to rake the coals to the center back and best to build the bed of coals there Naturally a good bed of coals works without raking but for faster startups when re working you burning coals this is the advised method.
This was the first question I asked and it was explained out in detail on the chalkboard before we started out tour. During the tour the chief engineer took all of the parts and put them together and explained the entire workings to us
But there is much more to the Ever Burn Non cat Encores and Defiants. All refractory joints are now bolted together, compressing gaskets, gone are the refractory cemented joints. Many of the bolts are stainless steel making rebuilding them a snap in the future as simple as replacing gaskets. Plus gaskets do have the ability to move a bit with heating and cooling and a little more forgiving and less prone to cracking.
These stoves are nothing like their Cat models these have been completely re engineered from ground up to assembly It is even unfair to compare them to any in the past because there is no to. Time will tell how advanced they are and the Ever Burn technology.
Goose if I missed anything please add or correct anything you may have interpreted differently. You know the worst of it I have the stove given to me but. I will never use it. It is going to a donor program recipient.
