## Abstract

A wood stove including a stove body which defines a stove exterior, a stove interior, and a combustion chamber disposed within the interior. A temporary cast iron insert is placed within the combustion chamber, the insert includes a horizontal base and vertical wall. The vertical wall substantially bisects the horizontal base. Fuel may be placed only on one side of the vertical wall during milder weather that does not require the full heating capacity of the stove. The cast iron insert improves the thermal efficiency of the stove whenever lesser amounts of logs are burned.
