[Stoves] Lanny Hanson pot insulator

[frank]

Andrew and others,

Can we have too much heat transfer?
If the temperature of the gases get below 100 deg. C at the exit will 
there be a lot of moisture and tar forming on the pot? We had a very 
small fire and the gas on exit was hot but not real hot. I'm thinking 
Lanny has it about as good as it gets even without the fins. In real 
life its as impressive as his video.
