Coal cage. You may find that the ashes do not easily come out of the gaps in your cage as they could be too small. I didn't see a riddle lever on your fire - do you have one? I have a Coal Cage and keep it in all the time - if I need extra heat then I just stack the coal up around it as well as in the cage itself. Sometimes I use wood around the edge if I need a burst of heat. As for the thermometer - I have mine further up the flue but I don't think they are really designed for a boat stove because if you get the needle in the range it states then it is too hot in the boat. You will get to know your stove after a few burns and will find your own way. The weather, wind, rain, how many windows you have open and lots more things denote how the fire burns. I used to have an 18 inch chimney until it got knocked in the canal and lost so bought a 12 inch one - I feel that I do not get as good a draught up the flue than what I did with the 18 one. hope this helps.
I dont know much about if you can already buy those cages it might be worth puting your name to it so people cant steal the idea and make money off tour idea, just a thought well done on the work so far
I watched the video yesterday and had a thought about the coal cage. Instead of it being a cylinder, would it work betfer if it was a basket that was flat with curved sides? I so think your thermometer was in the wrong place on the stove too. BTW, I know absolutely nothing about boats.
Ooo I'm loving the fridge wrap! Looking forward to seeing it on my girlie weekend on the boat next week! ❤
