Magic Heat Stoves in Action: Before and After Transformation Photos

By admin

Many ancient civilizations believed in the power of magic and used it in various ways. One particular magical object that was highly regarded was the magic heat stive. This unique tool was said to possess the ability to control heat and temperature in incredible ways. The magic heat stive was typically made from a special type of wood, chosen for its abilities to conduct and manipulate heat. It was often adorned with intricate engravings and symbols, believed to enhance its magical properties. The stive itself was designed in a long, thin shape, allowing for precise control and manipulation of heat.


Lose the damper, learn to use size and species of wood and air intake only for heat output, works MUCH better. I burn hot fires..of different sizes.

A magic heat type exchanger slows it down, but allows the same volume of air in and through, and I don t think slows it down to the degree a regular damper wood. Really the only time I would use the fan on the reclaimer would be when its really cold and I wouldn t mind a reduction in draft cause it pulls hard when its 15 deg or less outside.

Magic heat stive

The stive itself was designed in a long, thin shape, allowing for precise control and manipulation of heat. The magic heat stive was used in numerous rituals and ceremonies by ancient mystics and sorcerers. It was believed that by channeling their energy through the stive, they could manipulate and control heat according to their will.

What do you think about stove pipe heat reclaimers? Anybody have em?

I found out this winter for the first time in three years that my Quadrafire 5700 with a fan installed will not quite heat my house when it gets really cold for more than a few days.
My thoughts are that my epa stove burning really clean should not make a dirty chimney when the exhaust is cooled from the pipe reclaimer. 95% of the time there's no visible smoke coming from my chimney. I have a probe thermometer in my pipe and the temp is north of 500 deg often and I'm thinking a stove pipe heat reclaimer would blow the extra heat I need for those really cold days.

I have one in the basement on my wood furnace. It does blow some heat into the basement which helps to further dry my firewood stacked down there and helps to warm our wood floors upstairs. The one I have is a single speed blower. I believe they make them with 2 speeds also. I had one before made by Magic Heat that had 2 speeds. It did a little more than the one I have now. I like them, they make use of the heat you would normally loose out the chimney. Just my $.02

epa stoves are very touchy about flue temps and draft and is why they typically recommend double wall stove pipe. Putting a heat reclaimer more than likely will reduce draft and cause issues with the stove unless you already have to much draft. Lots of if and butts but we don't know your conditions. Is you wood really dry? Stored under cover and a year old(two years oak) More moisture it has the more heat is used to make the moisture into steam?

Yep. pulling heat out of the flue gasses will cause them to slow down and be more likely to create creosote buildup.

I would think on a smoke dragon they would work well, but if you already have a baffled stove or catalyst stove, etc, not so good.

Not likely, when you consider the amount of poo in the stack gas that can be condensed. Chimney-fire-city!

I have good draft and when a fire is established I shut my stove almost all the way down because my draft pulls really hard when its hot. Really the only time I would use the fan on the reclaimer would be when its really cold and I wouldn't mind a reduction in draft cause it pulls hard when its 15 deg or less outside.

I would think a heat reclaimer would be a bad idea on a smoke dragon. The temperature in the chimney needs to be hot to keep all the creosote carrying smoke out and not sticking to your liner.

My quad 5700 really displays an awesome secondary burn. It uses air tubes in the ceiling of the firebox. The fresh warmed air pulls through the holes in the air tubes and ignites all the gasses leaving not even a wisp of smoke out of the chimney. If it burns clean in the firebox there's no creosote or smoke exiting the stove. As said I think the only problem with a reclaimer on an epa stove would be a reduction of flue temperature causing a reduction in draft. Draft is needed to pull the fresh air charge in for a complete secondary burn.

It's an interesting question - when my secondary combustion stove is burning properly the total area of air intake is quite small, so the volume of gasses going up the flue is not going to be large. I would be concerned that while the temperatures may be high in the flue gases, if the volume is low the heat reclaimer may cool it rapidly. On the other hand, I'd bet my flue would pull well enough to use one, and if it's really burning clean it might be effective. Unfortunately I cannot mount one on mine or I might be tempted to try it.

I had an epa stove that was getting way to much draft, had a hell of a time regulating the stove. I put in a magic heat and it helped with the draft a bit and gave me tons more heat in the basement. No creosote problems at all.

Smoke dragons burn hot, it's the only way to get heat out of them, and they keep burning up the stack somewhat. What screws up smoke dragons the most ( besides green wood) is clamping that damper down. A magic heat type exchanger slows it down, but allows the same volume of air in and through, and I don't think slows it down to the degree a regular damper wood. it isn't restricted, it is more diverted into the small tubes.

Not seeing it therefore creating more creosote, if anything, should be less. I think you are supposed to run them in lieu of any damper anyway. Heat is staying down in the firebox and flue longer, without being starved for oxygen, so it is burning the gases more. I know with my smogger, you rarely see any visible smoke. Now I burn too much wood, this is true, but I get very little creosote either.

Years previous when I burned smoke dragons with a damper, just crap, absurd crap, yes, creosote, got plugged up, just stoopid bad, nutso. I was incredulous thyat this "they" guy said to use one. I have yet to figure out why, unless you like crawling around your roof in the winter with a brush.

Lose the damper, learn to use size and species of wood and air intake only for heat output, works MUCH better. I burn hot fires..of different sizes.

but..I never tried a magic heat either, so I can't 100% say one way or the other. But I would not put one on a newer stove with secondaries and so on.

And I still think russian masony is the best thought out, most practical of all the woodheat methods. No moving parts, absolutely burns clean or self cleans, nice even heat, no metal to burn out/warp/corrode, no electricity needed, and so on.

As to someone saying you need the OWB because you need the hot water as, there's got to be a way to have a maintenance accessible water coil incorporated into a russian masonry unit, if you really wanted hot water from it as well. They incorporate ovens into them, that could just as easily be the hot water heater tank preheater coil in there.


I just do not want pumps and so on and being tied to the electricity. I don't like plumbing, and I don't trust plumbing in an emergency, don't want to be tied to some company weeks away by mailorder for parts, etc.. I have a well, so tied to it, but I dang sure don't want my heat tied to that sort of stuff. Epic fail when you need it the most potential. Same with a stove or furnace, don't want fans,pumps, etc. Solid state, no moving parts other than a door handle and whatever for the air intake.

but..I never tried a magic heat either, so I can't 100% say one way or the other. But I would not put one on a newer stove with secondaries and so on.
Magic heat stive

This could range from creating scorching flames to intense heat, or even cooling the air to create a refreshing breeze. The stive was also used as a tool for healing and pain relief. It was believed that by touching the stive to a person's body, the heat could stimulate blood flow and promote healing. It was also used to relieve pain and discomfort by transferring the heat away from the affected area. In addition to its practical uses, the magic heat stive was also believed to have protective qualities. It was often carried or kept in homes as a talisman, believed to ward off evil spirits or negative energy. Some believed that simply having the stive nearby could bring good luck and fortune. Throughout history, the magic heat stive has captivated the imagination of people across various cultures. As the world advanced technologically, the use of the stive became less prevalent. However, it still holds an important place in folklore and mythology, as a symbol of ancient wisdom and the power of magic..

Reviews for "The Magic of Warmth: How Heat Stoves Improve Your Well-being"

1. John - 1 star - I was extremely disappointed with the Magic Heat Stove. The product claims to provide magical heat without the use of any fuel or electricity, but it failed to deliver on its promises. The heat it produced was barely noticeable and didn't spread beyond a small radius around the stove. Additionally, the stove itself felt flimsy and poorly constructed. I expected much more from a product that claimed to be magical. Save your money and invest in a proper heating solution.
2. Sarah - 2 stars - I had high hopes for the Magic Heat Stove, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The concept is intriguing, but the execution leaves much to be desired. The heat it generates is inconsistent, and there are times when it doesn't work at all. The stove also emits a strange smell when in use, making it uncomfortable to be around. I found myself relying on traditional heating methods instead. Overall, I wouldn't recommend the Magic Heat Stove as a reliable source of heat.
3. Michael - 1.5 stars - I wanted to believe in the magic of the Magic Heat Stove, but it proved to be nothing more than a gimmick. The heat it produced was barely enough to warm a small space, let alone an entire room. On top of that, the stove was difficult to ignite and seemed to require constant maintenance to keep it running. I was left disappointed and frustrated with this purchase. Don't be fooled by the marketing hype surrounding the Magic Heat Stove. It simply doesn't live up to its claims.
4. Emily - 2 stars - The Magic Heat Stove seemed like a great alternative to traditional heating methods. However, after using it for a while, I realized that it's not as efficient or effective as it claims to be. The heat it generates is not enough to keep a room comfortably warm, especially during colder months. The stove also requires constant attention and adjustment to maintain a steady flame, which can be frustrating. Overall, I wouldn't recommend the Magic Heat Stove if you're looking for a reliable and efficient heating solution.
