[TheForge] OT - Barrel Stove Kits

[peter fels & phoebe palmer]

  There were double barrel stove kits, with one above the other and a 
metered air supply to the top barrel.
The theory was that you'd get secondary combustion of the smoke on top.
Should have been pretty clean at operating temperature.
I sold one i'd made based on that principle, to a guy in So Cal.
He used the silly damn thing for a bbq and i never found out how well it 
worked.
