It has a good scald on it alright, been out playing this weekend at the rough close meet and The AT-AT stove was a roaring success. New pictures at the top of the thread.
Very controlable. On tickover just the right heat with the damper almost closed, and it stays in for ages. Great to cook on the top plate too with the damper initially open then half closed, cooking on hotter wood such as ash, oak. Opening the stove door helps to start the burn too, untill smoke starts then its closed.
Chimney and the heat sheild work like a dream. Just a peice of pipe butted up to the flue exit, with an overlap of an old spray paint tin to hold together like a sleeve. The coffee container with the bolts slides over this and pops through the arm hole of your choice.
Paint tin lid and spring stops the rain, sparks, and increases the draw.
Im a very chuffed Addo
