I'd love to see that running as well Merc

I've read that the larger Octopus furnaces could be bought with a 36 inch wide pot

good Lord the attendance to ashing and refueling must have been meticulous to have it meet the next heat call after a burn like that.

While it wasnt an octopus, I had a big cast iron Sears furnace with a 36" grate. Broke my cherry on that thing. Not sure what it was rated for but it must have been in the millions!

Damn, I'd love to own one for an out door patio heater for the cooler fall nights

Just need the check damper handle and the second 6" oval MPD back from the nickel shop and I'm off and running.....if the weather co-operates

Curious to know the heat out-put compared to Cindy. Looks very...tall. Nicely done Scotty. As for the weather? Not too promising yet. About 70° out there right now, with lots of wind and rain. Hope your shiny stuff arrives soon.

The stove looks real sharp Scott.

Did you finish it with paint, polish, or both? I'm debating which one to use.

Ciao!

Really nice looking stove... Can and a half stoves need a lot of draft. Keep us informed of progress, especially in the warm weather.

Not sure why it would require any more draft than it would with the original barrel that was 9 inches shorter, as the length of the gas path in base mode has not increased. I did not increase the depth (capacity) of the fire pot, although it’s possible with this particular stoves construction architecture. Yesterday it was in the 70’s with low barometric pressure and the chimney was drafting all by itself

I will certainly post all the results this little science project

yep, the principle of "equalization" will apply.

given a like force, the neg.or pos. pressure inside a vessel will be the same no matter the cubic area.
