Thought some might find this interesting. I was in Philly with my wife's family (from Spain) last weekend doing the tourist thing. We went into the Peale museum and there was an interesting display showcasing some early wood stove designs.

Thanks for posting those pix Brandon. Yeah, it would be better if there was more explanation of the details and workings, but I suspect the museum doesn't know any of that, or there'd be more text with the exhibit ????
