This is the stove that the farmer is using.
So I got ghosted by a Minnesota farmer - he stopped replying to my youtube comments. haha. He designed this cool 1100 F. ceramic fiber firebox in a "cheap" stove he got at Menards. I had to track down the specific stove - it's a Century design - so the baffle does not have any back opening to the stove collar exit. So it forces all the smoke up the front and his infrared detector actually got busted getting a reading!! The stove has ceramic glass rated to 1400 F. on the front door. Then he built a heat exchanger using two different size duct pipes and for his mass heater he uses a big pot of paraffin wax.
The outer pipe also helps insulate any surrounding combustible components from heat traveling through the system.
Yeah I get that reddish glow already if I burn my stove fully open and hot....but that's only from too much air - when I have it fully open. So if I keep if fully insulated - then the back should get less hot since there will be less air? hmm.
He has the back of his stove insulated from the fire brick - he doesn't mention that in the video. That's why I had to figure out what stove he was using in the first place!!
So this is risky to be sure.

Well I'll know if anything starts glowing reddish that I've got trouble - and just adjust the air intake.
so clearly the wood stove still had ceramic brick in the back - the issue now is just the top of the stove.
I guess the reburn cooled it down enough? The air intake in the front - and then reburn over the baffle...
has to cool it down back to 600.
