Dear Jason

Good question, but I want to first ask what it is that you want to make
'more efficient'.  Why do you think it is inefficient and that increasing
the draft will do something positive and not negative?

Because fires are heating things, the 'efficiency' is of the whole system,
but just the fire so perhaps you could explain a little more how to want to
approach your particualr challenge.

It is dangerous to assume much about a fire+device.  It is really complex
and sometimes it behaves very differently from what you would predict.

Do you want to simply create more heat?  As in....a fireplace without enough
heat?  Cleaner combustion?  As in...I am burning something smokey?

You get my drift.  There are a lot of people here who can help you!

Best regards
Crispin in Johannesburg

I have a heat source (fire).  I'm trying to increase the draft to make
it more efficient.  I'm going to pull energy out of the fire to do
this.
