The one draw back is how unevenly they heat. My dad has always used a fan in pipe but I want to take heat distribution further. I think the heat going up the chimney should be the bare minimum which would allow the smoke to rise instead of back up. When I used to melt snow onthe stove top and pipe and it would sizzle and boil away, that tells me a lot of heat is wasted. I would like to see heat sinks on the outside of the combustion box as well as a snaked or coiled copper pipe. The pipe would be connected to a heat radiator away from the stove and water would be pumped, heated on the stove cooled and the recycled again.
