I got a letter from my friend this past week, but there were no pictures included.

He says in the letter that he also uses the firebox to burn off glycerine from the biodiesel that he makes, which seems to burn forever in his fire box.

He's in the process of building a new "russian stove" as he calls it, which is just a masonry/clay stove built into a central wall with piping that runs back and forth through it to extract as much heat as possible from the fuel being burnt.

It's a biomass stove, but hand loaded, no hopper.
