Well - that didn't work....
I just spent 2 days building a charcoal heater for my hunting blind. Based on a 2 foot section of 3 inch square tubing. Think of the smallest wood burning stove you ever saw. - then stretch it upwards.
It actually did work in testing. The upper part got up to 450f. Hot enough you could see heat distortion near the surface. The airflow was sufficient - as the charcoal burned completly.
Problem - the airflow out the chimney -1 1/4 inch water pipe - drew the heat away from the top - which never exceeded 200f.
Which means my percolating coffee pot won't work on it. FAIL.
I' ll go get some 5 inch square tubing - and build the V 2.0....
That's why they're prototypes.
