To be precise, this is not a qualified "Finnish wood stove" because the wood is too fresh.
Fresh wood contains a lot of moisture, which will make it difficult to ignite and produce unnecessary smoke. But
Difficulty is relative. Wood cannot be ignited just because it is not dry. Otherwise, how could those wildfires expand? The trees burned by wildfires are all fresh trees.
Tom's match suddenly ignited the dead branches and leaves stuffed into the core of the tree, and a wisp of smoke came out from the assembled tree stump.
"It's burning, it's burning!" Mr. Weasley danced excitedly like a child. For him, making fire the Muggle way was still his first experience in life.
He took Tom's matchbox into his hand and said, "I'll try it too!"
However, like many children who came into contact with matches for the first time, Mr. Weasley couldn't strike a match. He was also a little confused: Tom had succeeded with just one stroke, but when it was his turn, he couldn't strike a match no matter how hard he struck.
Each match was broken in his hand, or the front part of the ignition was rubbed away, and the sandpaper on the side of the matchbox was also completely worn away.
Mr. Weasley let out a long sigh.
Tom came over and threw the scattered matches into the wood stove to fan the fire.
At this time, Mr. Weasley finally struck a match, but the sudden flame frightened him, and he threw the match to the ground.
Onlookers:
Fred couldn't help but cover his face with his hands.
"The sandpaper in this box is no longer useful," Hermione said gently, taking the matchbox from Mr. Weasley and showing him what to do.
"She will be very good at taking care of children in the future." George listened to Hermione's patient explanation and made a judgment.
Under Hermione's guidance, Mr. Weasley finally learned how to strike a match. He kept striking the match and then threw it into Tom's wooden pile.
At this time, the inside of the wooden pile had been ignited, and the smoke coming out was so thick that people could not open their eyes.
The principle of this wood stove is to let the kindling material ignite the core of the wood pile, and then carbonize bit by bit to form a carbon fire that keeps burning. This smoldering method can effectively extend the burning time of the wood. In the end, the wood pile will burn inside the wood pile.
A large hole similar to a triangle will be burned out.
"Ahem...it's already lit." Tom moved a little away from the wood stove.
"The Finns will insert a Z-shaped pipe into this hollow." Tom gestured towards the fireplace, "One end will be connected to the outside of the wood stove, and the other end will be connected to the tent, so that the cold air from outside will pass through the wood stove.
It will be heated and turn into hot gas, which is the heating principle of Finnish wood stove.
Hearing Mr. Weasley nod his head repeatedly, he now understood how Muggles without magic could survive in the ice and snow.
"It should be noted that the air inlet of the pipe must be outside the wood stove...Tom began to learn some safety knowledge again. Because Tom was not sure whether wizards had the concept of carbon monoxide poisoning - he felt that they did.
There are ventilation measures behind every fireplace in Hogwarts, so there won't be a tragedy like suffocating an entire college student to death in one winter night.
"So that's it! Tom, you are so knowledgeable!" Mr. Weasley was excited, feeling that he had learned so much knowledge that he didn't know when he would use it. He patted Tom on the shoulder and said, "Merlin! These are all!
Where did you learn everything from?'
"Well, these are Muggle common sense." Under the strange gazes of the Grangers, Tom replied, "After you understand Muggle science, you will know many unreasonable things, such as ice and snow rides.
The temperature inside a house is actually not too low. For example, the 'gas' you see after boiling the kettle is not actually gas."
Looking at the Weasleys around him who looked like they were taking an advanced math class, Tom knew that they didn't listen. There was nothing Tom could do about it. Who told wizards to only take magic classes since they were young? Most of them
There is no mathematics and physics in the world of wizards. They cannot understand various physical principles at all, their logical thinking is poor, and their understanding of the nature of the world is shallow.
The solution may be to set up a compulsory general education course at Hogwarts, right? Teach students some simple physical and chemical knowledge. As for mathematical calculations, this skill can be supplemented by arithmetic divination. In the process of arithmetic divination,
It involves a lot of calculations, and by some mistake, it actually gives the wizards math lessons.
General courses do not expect to train wizards into scientists who can carry out academic research, but only to prevent them from being too ignorant.
At this time, there was no longer a large amount of smoke coming out of the wood stove, but a clump of flames came out of it. This clump of flames announced that the stove was successfully ignited.
After a while, Harry and the others came back with a kettle. Tom put the kettle directly on the wood stove to boil water and make tea.
The process of waiting for the water to boil was not boring. Their tent was located on the road leading to the stadium, and there were many officials from the Ministry of Magic running on the road. Mr. Weasley was very popular in the Ministry of Magic, and many officials from the Ministry of Magic passed by.
Every now and then they would stop to say hello, and Mr. Weasley kept introducing everyone to let these officials get to know Tom, Harry, Hermione and others.
This is the invisible asset of a pure-blood family. Even though the Weasley family is too poor to afford textbooks, they are still an ancient pure-blood family, active in the middle and lower levels of the Ministry of Magic.
The director of the Goblin Liaison Office, the staff of the Experimental Spells Committee, the memory canceller, the mute... Tom got to know the staff of the Ministry of Magic one after another.
The water boiled, and Mr. Weasley made a pot of tea, a pot of porridge, fried a lot of eggs, and hung sausages on skewers and baked them in the wood stove. This roasting method was wonderful, and the fat on the top of the sausages was baked.
It will slide vertically along the sausage, soaking other parts along the way. In the end, the sausage is clearly roasted, but has a fried texture. In addition to the sausage, you can also bake potatoes to make full use of every ounce of heat and fat.
The fatigue of walking in the early morning was swept away.
Tom held a bunch of grilled sausages in one hand and a bowl of porridge in the other. He ran to Fred and George and sat down cross-legged. "They are all wizards here."
"Yeah." Fred was slicing the grilled sausage into slices and sandwiching it between two slices of eggs.
"They are all potential customers." Tom took a big bite of sausage.
"We know, but all our Fat Tongue Toffees have been confiscated." George made a grimace and drank the porridge one after another. The rice porridge was so bitter that he drank it.
"I didn't recommend that you sell fat tongue toffee here - think about it, there are so many children here, and their parents will kill you if you eat them by mistake." Tom shook his head, looking confident.
