Stovers - Hope someone can help.

Blaine -  Your message went to only a few people who are subscribed to
"stoves-digest".  The digest reduces the mail a little bit, but not much.
Let me know if I should switch you over to "stoves".   Ron

I'm new to the list.  I subscribed for a couple of reasons, but mainly
because I want to build a wood-burning stove for my garage/patio.  But I
don't just want any old stove.  I want a stove that is energy efficient,
looks nice, and is easy and cheap to build.  Though wood is bountiful in
this area, I don't want to be wasteful.  So efficiency is of top priority.

I'm looking at making a barrel stove, if that helps, since I already have
the barrel.  It's not your typical 55 Gallon drum, but rather it is a
heavy-gauge barrel with a bolt-on lid (US Army), with about a 10 gallon
capacity.  It measures roughly 16" - 18" in diameter, and about 24" - 26"
high.

So I guess what I'm asking for is any papers written on what makes a stove
efficient, and possibly diagrams, etc. that might help me in improving the
design of my stove.

Thanks,

Blaine
