Well boys and girls. Apparently you can build a homemade stove that will work….

In upstate NY, they are making it illegal to use wood to heat your house. Can you believe that? Because the smoke can go into your neighbors airspace and hurt their breathing.

I ive in NYC and can scronge easy five cords a year. I keep a saw in my trunk and keep my eyes open. The trees at the curb go down after storms and the park dept comes and sends them to the land fill! What a waste! If I didnt burn wood I would be ordering Heating oil. So this discarded wood is displacing fossel fuel! my neighbors say they never smell smoke due to my EPA cert. stove and good seasoned wood!

HAHA I’m amused with people saying that it’s dirty and your polluting. Did you know that 1/3 of Canada is covered with Borel Forest. The Borel Forest is supposed to burn every 100 years or so. That is a lot of natural wood smoke! Currently we put out all the forest fires we can natural or not. That makes for unusually old forests. Wood stoves are just fine. I say if you live away from the city and don’t mind the extra work, go for it. It’s the cheapest thing around.

well your kinda wrong bio-gas will be easier to produce and cheaper to move around than wood so i think gas will out live wood fires

Wood is a renewable source of energy, gas is not…..Go figure! The guys burning wood on super efficient woodstoves will be the ones who have the last laugh! Unless you fancy curling up in front of a small nuclear reactor?

not really true at all… gas is much cleaner than any wood fire secondary burning or not.. but i have never seen a home wood fire that is more efficient than gas (your saying you use 10-15kg of gas a day? thats about how much a small efficient wood fire set to a slow burn will use)

Secondary combustion burns the smoke, a modern wood burning stove is more efficient than a gas fire!

You are creating pollutants. Better to purchase clean energy. I do. Acting like a frustrated child isn’t the solution to high energy costs. Why is it necessarily bad that energy costs are high? We should use less.

Careful. Wood smoke produces particulate matter much smaller and deadlier than second hand tobacco smoke. what about solar or wind power? Technology has come a long way since the days of the cave people!

yes… we must learn their language….or we ‘ll be out..

I’m Portuguese, so that’s ok by me. Most english speakers wouldn’t care to learn any of our languages, so…

A hot fire with little oxygen produces CO instead of CO2 (CO has one less atom of oxygen per molecule). CO is thus flammable and if you feed some oxygen into the smoke, CO will burn to CO2 in what is known as a secondary combustion. The same principle has been used during WWII to make gas that was filtered, cooled, mixed with air and burnt in engines that were made to work with (then rationed) gasoline.

what’s the secondary combustion?

ha 25 (help me Jesus)

any chance of plans? I have in the works, a 2″ pipe with an elbow in my flew. the 2″ pipe will renter the stove under the flame to be burned again. I will T off and cap inside. a few holes should cause a draw I hope.

Can you maybe make pictures of drawings of your system ??

Well, I added rails along the rear of the firebox to bring preheated secondary combustion air to the tubes above the firebox. I’m very familiar with the Vigilant you have. I’ve contemplated messing with one of them. If you disassembled and insulated the rear chamber with refractory, and added a bit more secondary air I bet you could get an unbelievable secondary combustion system.

Yeah, congratulations. How did you do it? I have an early pre catalytic Vigilant from Vermont Castings. It’s a huge cast iron box. No secondary burn. I want to do to it what you’ve done.

it looks really good, does it do gasification? where did you get the plans for it?

It does burn smoke free about 30 minutes after a reload. Where did I state otherwise?

Its not burning efficiently enough. It shouldnt make any smoke at all after 30 minutes or so, yes its homemade. Better than paying an energy bill to those corrupt bastards who run energy firms.
