So, my 354 has double doors with air spinners. You don’t think they’re high enough over the fire for wood burning?

One thing I’d already had planned to do was build a removable re-burn system for this stove just to burn wood more efficiently. Might even help with coal, but I can’t say for sure.

Your over fire air is fine. I'm talking about the Hitzers with No over fire air (No spinners in the door). The reason I said way up high is that it would be an easy place to drill / cut through. Then you'd fabricate a channel for down drafting near the base of wood fire.

Hmmm, Do they say why...? I'm curious...


No - not in the manual at least. I can ask them the next time I call them for something.
