If you were designing a stove, what features would you....

I think this could be fabbed and added to any unit. That is if we ever figure out what we need. Might be a little harder on the Harmans as they modulate feed on the fly. This topic could be worth its own thread!

On further thought, I'd like this interface to have wifi and allow me to check the stats online or through a smartphone app - additionally, allowing me to remotely control the stove.

Include?
Here's my dream stove.
It would be a direct vent with remote combustion and convection fans. A box outside that had a lid you could open easily for cleaning the fans and a pathway for outside air.It would be wisper quiet Variable back pressure so that the exhaust would be at the best flow for heat exchange regardless of firing rate. Soundless pellet feeding. A pressurized air wash system that would keep the glass clean all the time. An automatic ash removal system.

What would you include?

I know on my Quads when you have an OAK when the stove shuts down, outside air comes into the burn chamber and then out the glass air wash. This brings much cold air into the room. There should be something to close off this air infiltration.

Ravelli/Ecotek has promoted an iOS app that allows you to do such a thing. I have not seen it surface though.

I do love those Italian stoves...
