Topic: Deck irons for wood (solid fuel) stove
Group,
I bought a Tiny Tot wood/charcoal stove for my Contessa (hoping to expand my sailing season during cooler months in upstate NY this & coming years). It takes a 3" stove pipe, and a 3" deck iron. My question is related to the "type" of deck iron to use, and alternative ways of mounting thru deck.
There is a water bowl type, that you fill with water atop to help cool the iron.
There is a finned type, that cools via air flow.
There is a solid (old type) brass iron.
Is there a way (no matter which one I use) to better insulate the deck iron from the deck to insure better heat protection just in case things get too hot during the night?
