An up close and personal look at Steve's wildfire Elm stove. Special features include the new brass Elm tree and ash apron, the nickel plated warming shelves, the new cherry turned wood knobs and the used brick hearth to showcase the stove and store lots of heat.

that is an interesting question. There are several conditions that need to be met in order for secondary combustion to occur. One is adequate insulation in the form of the firebricks under the fire. An ample bed of hot coals. Preheated air usually 1000 degrees F. When I open the stove door to look at the fire, the secondaries stop. The fire needs to be starved for oxygen in order for it to seek out the air supplied by the secondary tubes or beams. So I doubt it will work like that.

@slatterbench70 Steve, I think the stove is a real work of art and your work is top notch. I understand the tree is a trade mark and I'm sure many would want it on their stove. However, it would be nice to come up with some way to be able to pop it off should you want to enjoy the fire.

I have a poser. Could the secondary air baffles be installed in a fireplace?

Thanks

@1timby The tree is historically the trademark of the stove. I have supplied several Elm owners with a simple ring to replace the tree, and open up the view of the fire, as on my test stove. thanks for your opinion.

Nice stove. Thanks for giving us a look. The brass is nice however, I feel the tree on front blocks the view of the fire. Just my opinion.

Thanks again for the vid.
