Homemade secondary combustion in old woodstove

  • I bought this stove for $125 and restored it for my workshop. I got a lot of good ideas from looking on youtube at homemade secondary combustion and also from stove companies. Also i got good ideas for primary airwash systems, baffles, and bypass dampers. I came up with my own designs and since I have experience in fabrication and welding, I knew that i could build them. I also had a local fabrication shop that bent the steel for me and that i bought the supplies from. Everything worked very good and in the future I will be adding more secondary air manifolds to the sides between the top and bottom fire bricks and also i will be bring more super heated primary air in for sustained secondary burn. Thank you for taking the time to watch this video... and sorry for the shakey camera.

    Nice job Denny. You ended up with the performance of a $3500.00 stove, for $700.00 ! Plus the satisfaction of restoring and hot-rodding it with your own hands. What's not to love about that... Kudos dude.

    Great to see the secondary air being drawn in when the primary air to the grate is reduced. Nice job.

    Absolutely beautiful. Spectacular job. The finest stove project result I've seen in 11 years on YT. Kudos. Congratulations.

    You've got some serious skills Denny. The stove is beautiful, and you saved it from ending up in a landfill. Well done! We just bought a secondary air stove. It amazes me when there is no smoke coming out of the chimney. It's so cool

    Impressive rebuild. Agree with guy below, lots of fabrication skills, shop tools, time and money. A joy to behold.

    Thanks for sharing - I like your design of the air intake for the secondary combustion - impressive to see the almost magic dance of the flames - and I fell this is even more interesting to look at than the more traditional look into the burning logs.

    Hypnotic! It fascinates me to see how the secondary burner works and how hell resumes at the top. It's just great.👍👍👍

    The trick to making clay work as a refractory material that doesn't crack readily or crumble is to mix one part of good high firing clay to two parts sand. Perlite or vermiculite will also work well with better insulating properties and lower weight. I recently added a good shape to the inside of my stove that funnels air into a narrow burn chamber, and greatly improved the efficiency and ease of use. You can just throw the wood in at random once it heats up and it will burn cleanly and completely. You can even burn damp sawdust.

  • @michaelambrose5438

    Figured out the air wash/primary air set up. it took me a bit to figure it out but it's an ingenious design.

    • @jozefmikleriii6330
      @jozefmikleriii6330 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I couldn't see how that air wash frame connected to the 2x primary air intakes. I'm assuming that frame sat just inside the doors... Are those slots facing toward the fire or toward the glass? I'd love to see a side view sketch or something. Cool project.

  • @Toddster81
    @Toddster81 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Very nice, boy the glass doors made all the difference! And adding the secondary burn tubes made it more efficient. I like it!

  • @Tom-Lahaye
    @Tom-Lahaye 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    The design seems to work very well, the flames burning from the secondary air holes tell it all.
    As mentioned by others, you could provide an outside air source.
    That would be a very easy alteration for the secondary air, remove the pipes which run under the stove and make an air box from large box section at the rear bottom end of the tubes.
    Feed in air from outside via a 80mm spiral duct straight trough the wall, provide a bit of downslope to the outside to keep rain and condensation out, a vent cover with mesh needs to be provided to keep rodents out.
    For the primary air it's a bit more involving on this stove as you don't want unsightly air ducts to the regulators on the side, maybe close these off and make a steel duct on the inside of the stove to your primary air ring, and the regulator on the back.

    you're a rare breed. Really amazing work on this. Not that I have the capability to do something like this, but if I did, I would have put the secondary air collecting tubes inside the stove itself and also constructed the baffle in such a way that it could be insulated with kaol wool. Between those two adjustments, you'd be able to keep the secondary air extremely hot. It looks like you have to give the stove quite a bit of primary air to keep it going, although toward the end of the video it does look like you're getting a true secondaries-only burn. If that's what most of your burn looks like, then awesome. Doesn't get much better.

    I decided to dampen mine down bit, so instead of running 700-800 degress (too hot for my house) I run mine around 500 and the stack temp is down to 200 or so. A full load used to be gone in about 4 hours, no I get 7-9 hours out of a load, and it way more efficient. The secondary tubes make a world of difference and no smoke now.

    Lots of secondary combustion and a nice fabrication job, good work. I'd be interested to see how the burn looks if you turn down the primary air a bit to get a nice, slow, lazy burn. Then, I find anyway, loads of heat, a clean burn and very good fuel economy

    thumbs up..
    at 26:35 that is all wood gasification. for them who don't know,, it is the flammable gasses coming off the burn = smoke you see out your chimney. nice view of the after burner....
    NICE VIEW AND GREAT SHOW OF THE SECONDARY BURN = AFTER BURNER....
    it still amazes me how that works.. I love it.. thanks

    Nice setup with 1 nit...
    The welds
    My cheap ass does CO2 shielded MIG on thin household Chinese steel salvage,
    I recommend it for practice as the stuff has horrible paint that will test your skills.
    I have 1 arm ....
    General rule of thumb, each leg(not the face of fillet)1.5 x thickness of thinnest material MAX
    In this case 1/2 of weld material volume would suit as stress is minimal
    With practice you will find directing flow to thicker piece and washing onto thinner helps control heat.
    Cheers👍

  • @tylerlawson9247
    @tylerlawson9247 3 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    One way you could improve this design would be to draw combustion air from the outside rather than from the room being heated. This in effect creates a heat cushion of positive pressure rather than creating a vacuum in the room that draws in cold outside air.
