I slightly modified mine by putting an adjustable draft port in the ash door (that brass knob below the window) so I could get regulated airflow through the grating to the coals. The original design routed air through a pair of registers into the stove and then over the inside of the glass window to keep smoke off the glass and keep it from getting all sooted up, THEN to the fire. It works fine for that primary purpose, but it really needed some extra air at the base of the fire to help keep the fire hot and the catalyst in the reburn range.

Also, when it is burning/reburning, the exhaust plume is crystal clear- all you can see is the ripples of heated air coming out of the chimney, and the exhaust also gives off a slightly tangy smell, somewhat like smelling a hard coal fire from a distance.

The draft forces are
