Hestian Innovation

Basic design features:

For improved combustion and reduced smoke:

• Fuel loaded from the front through a small hole accommodating only thin pieces of firewood
• Undercurrent of air through an air inlet into the firechamber on the side
• High firechamber to burn off unburnt ‘exhaust’ gases to reduce smoke emissions and improved heat exploitation

For improved heat transfer:

• Top-plate out of fired ceramic clay to ensure the correct features of the pot-rests.
• Skirt around the pot to force flue gases against the pot. One hole cut open to accommodate frying pans and pots with handles.
