remove grate of just burning wood?

David Kirk 11 years ago

Super stove for the money. We only burn wood though and I wonder if it's possible to remove the grate and set the fire straight on top of the base of the stove. It would allow for a greater payload of wood

Is this a good idea?

Stove expert replied: There are woodburning kits available which is the best option to prevent any damage to the stove.
