    I met a guy this summer that sells the wiseway. Interesting, but I can get real wood and stove for a lot less! And not only operates the same (without electricity) I can also cook on top of the wood stove.
    The tube heat exchanger looks like it would be great, but again, no cooking allowed on top with that design. But I bet with the bottom air intake and top air exhaust of the tubes, it really moves the heat! Would be great for a workshop, no?

    Who said there's nothing new under the sun. And remember they all laughed at Columbus too!

    Just be careful setting up those round stoves too close to the edge of the world!

    I remember reading somewhere that a domed top to a fire chamber was more efficient in the scheme of things. Might have been to do with kilns, but I don't think they were referring to and old navel mine being converted to a wood stove. There was a stove out of MN that was shaped like an "A Frame" top third was all heat exchange tubes with a sliding plate for cleaning built up crud of them- he had a second one more conventional box type same on the exchange tubes in the top ( late 80's-early 90's) before the EPA rulings.
    Is that one with the fans a pellet stove ?

    It's wood. I guess in the years to come we will probably start seeing more of these...

    The reason I love wood heat; is for the fact that if we have a "catastrophy" in the middle of Winter, I can still heat my home.

    I do have a generator..........................

    The reason I love it is because this all my grandfather and father had growing up in yugoslavia. They used it for heat and cooking. I was the only one out of 6 boys to follow in their footsteps. It sure came in handy when Sandy knocked the power here for 6 days even though I had a generator but my furnace kicks on only if it fits below 60 and that's hardly ever. .the usual temp in winter is 71..
