Looking forward to syrup season. Hopefully my woods is dry enough this year! Being a highly respected welder I’d say you did what you needed done lol. Now we’re cooking with gas!
@NeighborlyHomestead I was doing 15 gph last year, but with over 320,000 rated btu's, I feel like I should be in the area of 20. Hopefully :) But my welds are not like yours- yours are professional grade lol
That should really increase the airflow given the huge increase in hole size, but also directly under the burners- the cinder blocks are no longer in the way!
Would you still need a draft? You should put a chimney on one end and still get exhaust gases coming out. What’s happening is the burners are suffocating themselves as they run on oxygen and there’s nowhere for the combustion products and heat to go
@@UptoSomethingOutdoors I think about how much heat you’re making a bunch will go into the pan but traditionally on a wood fire you’ve got a pretty decent sized exhaust stack natural gas burns cleaner so you don’t tend to see the problem, but you still going to need an almost equivalent sized stove, pipe to pull the combustion products out and make sure you’re getting proper airflow through through the burners

@hardworkingmanoutdoors Did you get my email?
Interesting idea! Be interested in seeing how it works! 👍🍁

@UptoSomethingOutdoors Thanks! I'm hoping to be at least 25gph but 30 would be nice!

@Miweatherspotter1 I did add a small exhaust port last year, I've pondered enlarging that as well and/or adding a couple feet of chimney pipe.
