Thermosiphon Baby... yeah yeah yeah...

Round here pellets are hard to find come February. Corn or rice coal would be the trick. Think I'll just heat ol school.

Thanks, looks simple enough. Looks like the "afterburner" plate can be removed without much effort too. The piece in the back between the brick, is that a hollow tube er wut.?

I'd like to see the inside. I'm in the mood to build another stove for in the basement.
