Has anyone seen or know of a suspended pot base-burner like a Crawford, Glenwood, Stewart etc, with a dome that has openings or holes in it? My Stewart does but they are very small. I'm wondering why these stoves do not seem to have them. The Glenwood 6 has them as do most direct draft stoves like a G116 etc. But it seems that the cylinder stove BB's do not have them.

Scott,

Could the absence of holes have anything to do with the oven feature? I know the G109, G111 and G113 have an oven under the top dome. Having holes in the dome may not work so well when trying to heat something up! Just a thought.

Good point Tom.

I do know the the Crawford 2, 3, 4 have flat tops with no "oven" and have the solid dome. The 20, 30, 40 have the ovens with solid domes. I don't recall how the 50 I saw was set up.

This is what the Kineo oven area looks like. Looks like I need to get in there and do some cleaning and polishing too. :oops:

Does that Kineo have holes or openings in its lid?

No, solid dome that just sits on the interior lip where the rod holders come off from.

A copy of a Glenwood catalog I have lists the Grand Glenwood Parlor as having two revertible flues that lead to the base then out through a back pipe, but I'm not sure you'd call it a suspended pot stove ????

It has a solid dome with a recessed oven space under it.

Oh no....I did not mean that this was exclusive to BB's by any means. Sorry for the confusion :) I just wonder the thinking behind the no openings on some stoves, and openings on others. I had just seemed to notice it on BB's.

Are you referring to vent openings or holes for rods for the fire pot? On my Kineo there are no vent holes because it is meant to be an oven and they want to keep the heat in it. On the Andes stoves, they are vented. Not sure if I misinterpreted your questioning?

S'ok, Scott.

I'm not that familiar with the Grand Glenwoods - wish I'd had more time to look over Wilsons. But maybe Wilson, or Kevin, will jump in and tell us more about the inner flue paths of their Grands and what category of stove they are - suspended, base heater, back pipe, etc.. There may be design or operation reason(s) we're not seeing that some have vented bonnets and some don't ????

All info for the grist ! ;)

Randy,
Vented bonnets, verse why some have no vents.

I am wondering if some of the manufacturers tried this so a pot of water could be put under the dome so water vapor could drift out the hole???
...good question though.

Possible, but long times of steaming the insides of the bonnet and stove top under it, I'd think it would make a rusty mess. Cooking under the bonnet wouldn't involve as long a time. And if the cookware has a lid there'd be even less steaming the insides.

So to review...

Stoves with ovens below the dome have no holes, vents, openings, etc. Except for my little Stewart that has an oven and tiny holes in the lid.

Tom had a good point that putting holes in an oven "door" is not conducive to cooking & baking :D
