Testing a weird woodstove idea for proof of concept. The idea is to have an externally placed and fed angled TLUD (top lit updraft) stove. The burn chamber pierces the wall of the building and the stove pipe transfers the heat. There are some possible disadvantages along with the advantages of this woodstove, and a lot to think about and work out. But the concept seems useful and appears to work in principal.
