Well, I added rails along the rear of the firebox to bring preheated secondary combustion air to the tubes above the firebox. I'm very familiar with the Vigilant you have. I've contemplated messing with one of them. If you disassembled and insulated the rear chamber with refractory, and added a bit more secondary air I bet you could get an unbelievable secondary combustion system.

It does burn smoke free about 30 minutes after a reload. Where did I state otherwise?

HAHA I'm amused with people saying that it's dirty and your polluting. Did you know that 1/3 of Canada is covered with Borel Forest. The Borel Forest is supposed to burn every 100 years or so. That is a lot of natural wood smoke! Currently we put out all the forest fires we can natural or not. That makes for unusually old forests. Wood stoves are just fine. I say if you live away from the city and don't mind the extra work, go for it. It's the cheapest thing around.

Secondary combustion burns the smoke, a modern wood burning stove is more efficient than a gas fire!

@danalancasto i think those figures are even higher here in europe for managed forests. i'm not too sure if i really buy into alot of the doom and gloom around CO2 and global warming. i believe something is happening for sure but is it as bad as we are being told? i really dont know who to believe. but in the mean time.....i'll be burning wood and turf.

There are more trees in the US today than there were 70 years ago, and our tree growth outgrows our cutting and production by 31% a year so to anyone complaining otherwise, please unplug your keyboards.

I'm a sawmiller, cabinet maker, and soon to be tree farm grower.

I'm pretty sure it was 4th grade that we learned that co2 is food for trees. My god people are stupid...

@thothbilliardsinc pff i only cut down dead trees to live with in my needs.But as the years go by more and more people build houses and cut down live trees to live with in their selfless so called needs. In just a few years all the trees around here will be gone forever....... except mine :( on the 10 acres i have

@definca Who cares if something emits CO2? Anyone who believes the fraud of MMGW needs to stop breathing immediately... for the good of the cause.

@HoofSupport I'm not sure smoke is "bio-gas".

what the fuck

[waltersd71]

just watched how its made on tv a dual combution produces .24 onces of emissions an hour compared to .5 ounces of single combustion
