Thanks Peter, that now makes a lot of sense since that is the path that the gases seem to utilize not so much the bottom of that opening.

Peter, is it better to enclose the whole batchbox into the first bell or to surround only the riser?

I lit up the heater a little fire, the draft is very strong, I don't have the P-channel in place yet, the hole for it is covered. The fire is for drying alone. It is going straigh to the chimney with another stove in the same stack running for the moment.

Peter, is it better to enclose the whole batchbox into the first bell or to surround only the riser? To be honest, I don't know. Both setups has been done multiple times. There seems to be an effect, though. With the firebox sticking out and no insulation around it, it won't get as hot. That means when heaving consequetive burns the fuel won't off gas as fast.

It seems that if I leave the box inside would not need a double wall around it and not have to worry about insulation of the firebox. What do you think about putting some round clay sleeves in a cascading manner toward the chimney exit so that the air will cascade lower and lower into the tubes. There should be no shortcutting. Do you think gases will raise into the next vertical tube if the connection from one tube to the other will be system CSA or if the path is long enough will raise into the tube?
