Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Looks great.

Somehow have reservations regarding fire not trying to escape up the shoot.

Also how long can it work?
Would it be possible to leave fireplace overnight to self-load until morning?

Hi, the fire has to be really small or the radiant will ignite the pellets in the feed shoot. I burned it for hours and it operated until the fuel ran out. It is just a proto-type. I hope to have a better unit fabricated before it snows. The trick is the air flow and keeping the fire small, about the size of a baseball.
