I have seen Doug's stove running many times and it is very impressive. Paul-- me thinks you substantially overestimate the size of the grates. They really cone down on these stoves.

Possibly.
It was just a guesstimate by scaling off the pictures I have, plus having stood next to it examining the outside of the stove up close on several occasions.
You can see the proportions of the pot taper better on this Model E better illustration from the Dowagiac Museum here.

If the 27:1 ratio is not just for base heaters, the grates on this Round Oak would have to be way smaller than they are for that size barrel to work out to 27:1. And, that's including the extension barrel this one has, not a standard height Model E24.
