Hello Steve,
In UlaanBataar Mongolia for one example there are times where
electricity is not available, then you have the off gridder, and my total
paranoia that even here at home we could be without power for long periods of
time. One of our local power generating dams is horribly compromised
structurally, should it go it would send millions of gallons of water rushing
downhill toward Seattle taking out every power translator station in it's path.
This could mean many months before power could be restored in many area's. This
is why I wish to not rely on power at all if possible.
I have worked out my stove problem by two methods. One was to "wrap"my
flue pipe raising it's internal temperature creating a better draw, the other
was getting more activity from my secondary combustors which in turn
accomplished both a better (cleaner) burn as well as providing a little more
temperature in the flue.

Hi Steve.....
I have tried that, and it does work......but........I'm trying
desperately to stay away from all electric options. I did find this morning
that my combustor pack was losing heat to it's outer shell and not developing
the temps needed to stay clean and solved this issue which might also solve the
other. What I am wondering is more along the line of chimney diameter vs
temperature. Different diameters have different velocities which could result
in different temp ranges. I am also putting a second section of pipe around the
chimney on top of the roof to raise the temp and this seems to be helping.
Why? because you don't like using electricity, or you want the ability to run
"off grid" ?
Steve
