Progress on the mini stove prototype. A flue with top plate has been added, along with a baffle in the fire box to retain some heat and fumes for combustion and to redirect the remainder up the flue.
flue and top plate
Most of the smoke seems to go up the flue. Should be better once a door is made.

And the baffle works well to retain the flames and direct the rest up the flue.
baffle in fire box retains flames, and directs excess up the flue
The door latch has been made, just waiting on a hinge design and production now. I think some more air intakes in the base will help things too. Airflow will be less once the door is installed.
More to come.
