All that depends on the construction of the stove. If no difference performance wise was noted, thennnnnnnn, you're probably just fine with out

That was before he started to close up the holes in the windows with aluminum foil. I think he is going to find a different beast once he starts pulling the air up through the bed of coal and not through the windows.freetown fred wrote:All that depends on the construction of the stove.

Possibly, but if the stove has a deflector shelf in her, there won't be any difference heat out put wise.

That is also true...I was automatically picturing pot belly stoves but we don't even know what kind of stoves he has.freetown fred wrote:Possibly, but if the stove has a deflector shelf in her, there won't be any difference heat out put wise.

Thanks for the heads up Randy
neither do I { know what these are] yes I should take a pic but I haven't been to the paradise resort all week - Ill need to take off Friday noonish and finish prep -
yes I hope to get more heat and draft
as you point out - maybe now correctly routed up thru the old stoves and up the stack
and in that I never closed the ash doors - attempting to get more air up from under - now I may be able to gain a margin of control by using the ash door closed and their air control knobie doohickies
Sorry Fred -- no shelf - flat wide exhaust hole is just across from the load door - these are simple old machines. I crush the smoke pipe into an oval shape and slip on to the stove exhaust collar -- and move up
Actually if the exhaust temps are hi it will help as the pipe is mostly in the room exiting at the ridge peek - I have some old ceiling fans on both sides = they should then have a better purchase to scrub heat off the stack pipe

Then a MPD a couple feet up from the stove top would definitely be advantageous (cool word) & ceiling fans are a definite plus.

The MPD will give more control by partially blocking the stack, thus slowing the fast moving flue gases so that they have more time to transfer heat to the room, . . in stead of racing up the stack to warm the neighbors !

The stoves are back to back elbow into tee and up past roof - horizontal branch of the tee to two elbows to second stove
so really if I wer trying to do any balance I would need an MPD below the two branches to the stoves and not above
akkkk I Have over thought this too much already and annoyed too many good people here
Its time to light these and drink -- opps its only Thursday - and there goes that incontinence alarm again

Sting annoying ? That depends !
Yeah, since the stoves likely aren't exactly the same in way they burn, two MPD's - one in each branch - would give better control of each.

Orrrr just go on the concept that all the MPD will do is prevent any serious down draft & HELP keep a lil more heat in the stoves.

Of course "It Depends" on how much fuss ya wanna do for a couple stoves that you don't use very much. Blocking the holes where air is coming in thru the load doors and installing a MPD - I'm willing to say could double their heat output..
