was pretty hot! ;) the only problem was that the draft was so strong that it was pulling all of the heat up out the chimney, even with the bell on top.

Wow really? That is incredible!!!. I am on planning making one soon.... Been on a 2 weeks research so far. I am actually going to make one that will be used inside our Home. It will be enclosed... Only feeding through small Window and Cleaning as well. I am extremely sensitive to Wood smells and all that stuff :((((. We have a Wood Pellet here, within an Hour of Burning, I am unable to breathe :(((. Even though the Stove is almost enclosed. Still have problems anything with Wood :(((. I am on the hunt for a CLEAN BURN Fuel... Also, we get tons of FREE used Oil. So CLEAN BURN would be ideal and that why I am on the research. Thank you for the reply :D
