@gabigowriel Hi, more or less the secondary air inlet tubes are some sort of steel tube with holes in it, but that is where it ends, the inside diameter of the tubes, how they are placed in the top of the firebox, and even the size air inlet holes drilled in the tube are all part of a stoves overall design. Smoke does not come out of the inlet tube because of the "vacume"/"draft" the stove creates while operating, pulling fresh combustion air in.
I got a question for you. You have stated that your parents had a wood stove growing up, and now you have one also, so it sounds like you have some years around them under your belt, so to speak. I was wondering, since I have not had a wood stove of my own before, after you have had an evening fire in it, and the next day it has all cooled down, do you have any problems with you house/home, smelling like a campfire the next day? Is that a problem with woodstoves? Just woundering, thanks, Tim.
@MrGraygrizz Hi, most of our fires are for days, once the winter temps settle in. With properly seasoned firewood, secondary combustion, and correct stove operation we do not have any "campfire smells" in our home. Usually the smells like that are from incorrect stove operation forming creosote deposits in the flue as well as sluggish draft within the flue. Usually we only get a slight "woodfire" odor when refuling...but don't mind because of all the money saved in our heating bills :-)
@firewoodguy2009 True, thats what I do when I light off the stove, this was a well established fire with a great coal bed ready for the nice hunks of oak :-)
I would like to add steel tubes to the upper part of a tile stove firebed!
It's basically a steel pipe with holes in it?
How does the air get into the fire/stove?
Does it needs some one-way valve to stop the "smoke" getting in the house through those air pipes?
I'm a novice in these things so please "be gentle" with the explanations :-)
THANK YOU

@whitehat55 Hello, the stove is made by CFM home products, and was purchased from Lowes 6 years ago.
