The Home Works #25 even with its little 12" firepot is holding its own and keeping the house a nice and comfortable 73*f with an oat of 33*f.
Stove temperature 663.6*f
Flue temp at thimble 88.3 *f
Double heater pipe 141.8*f

Well if it wasn't for Sir William and awesome input from the members of this forum, I wouldn't have in my wildest dreams, guessed there was that much of a difference between a direct draft or even a stove with a back pipe!Canaan coal man wrote: ↑Wed.

I shake it down about 4 am before I head to the shop and again when I get home anywhere from 5 to 8 pm.Canaan coal man wrote: ↑Wed. Nov. 08, 2017 9:30 amWhat are you getting for burn times and coal usage at those temps?
It may not be a workhorse, but I will bet you will be pleasantly suprised at the amount of IR heat that is radiated from that globe.
Steve, I took some readings before I left for the shop this morning, but it was only about a half hour after I got it filled ,roaring an flipped it in bb mode.KingCoal wrote: ↑Wed. Nov. 08, 2017 4:28 pmjust for kicks when you have the cast on the stove body at about 663* what is the lowest temp on the elbow on the stove side of the wall.
i know it will be diff. due to proximity to the stove and the double heater pipe. i had that problem taking temps on a section of back pipe the first time i set up FRANK but, it will be cool to see just the same as ithink it will be lower than expected.

Fortunately, not only does my flue run thru the furnace room , the double heater pipe ducts into the room also along with the cold air return from the dining room and the man cave.KingCoal wrote: ↑Thu. Nov. 09, 2017 8:31 pmthere are many things at play most of them have to do with cross contributions. the 87* degrees at the chimney is still very much valid as the pipe is directly releasing it's heat into the living space till it gets there.
i have the same situation with FRANK. right now i have 139* at the exit of the base chamber, 2 feet up from that at the lower collar of the "T" coming out of the direct draft collar ( which is 100% closed off at the stove body right now ) i have 165* and at the elbow into the thimble 108*
now obviously if the back of the stove wasn't radiating onto the back pipe it wouldn't spike half way up and then come back down.
this is why i was working on a double heater shroud for this stove, to disperse some of that heat into the room rather than put it up the flue.
you have double advantage in that FRANK will never look anywhere near as good as the Home Stove Works #25
