Someone in Norway is making these wood stoves and installing them in mountain cabins.
Gotta be efficient in such frigid conditions !!
They are more like sculptures. Look very efficient due to the large top surface.
Thought I would make a similar smaller sized 36" unit. (copycatting, don't tell)
I do have the same larger metal components here in stock as the Norwegians used.
This is a smaller prototype for testing the air flow and heat output.
It can also serve as heavy cover that can be set down on an existing fire pit by 2 people using handles.
Great for windy days and puts out incredible heat even when burning green wood.
It actually makes a fine enclosed wood stove when using adjustable air controls, sipping wood slowly.
Holds a crap load of wood.
Sexy Norwegian version:
firepitsatlanta rough hamburger prototype:
With smoke rising above participants - yeah!!! :
Had several brainstorms regarding applications of this thing.
1) Is able to have a form built around it and poured over with concrete to make a large thermal mass burner.(think pizza oven)
Easily structurally strong enough to handle the concrete. It is cheap thermal mass...
2) A 48" or 54" unit with adjustable air vents for burning manageable 3' to 4' long stick wood say 2 to 6 inches in diameter like cut from young trees.
The long wood slides in to the loading hole easily.
It should burn for 24 to 72 hours IMO since it can burn slow with air intake set low and has such a large capacity.
3) Sold as an accessory cover for metal bowl type outdoor fire pits.
