sent to me--probably should have gone to everybody.

(I'd guess it depends on how close it GETS to the Pex)

When we disassembled a rocket stove (we were calling it a downdraft stove) 
at Cob Cottage a few years back, Ianto said one of the attractive features 
was the high heat which burned all but the water vapor gases.  Unfortunately 
this approached 1800 degrees.  I am sure this would melt the pex.

I am looking forward to getting Ianto's booklet from Charmaine.  I've been 
wanting to build a modified one to use along with a cob oven in a modified 
kiln for low tem firing.  Say in the 1600-1800 degree range.  This should be 
doable.
