I was pondering a way to run wires (for instance, from a stun gun to a spark strip or the wires for a fan) through the wall of the combustion chamber without unnecessary holes.
I'm building an over/under combustion with a ball valve to vent the chamber. The reducer and ball valve on the back of the chamber are going to be attached to the chamber with screws - not glue - to allow for chamber maintenance in the future. So I came up with this idea. It's pretty self-explanatory. Let me know what you think.

Peace,
Pete Zaria.

Thru bolting is the way I did it in my gun.

wood stove gasket is fiberglas "rope" in different dia..
it's like samson braid, hollow woven, not three strand.
it is 1/4 to 3/4" - fit wire down middle

chaos- I will post pic if you want but not tonight, I use wood for heat
and use the stuff on stove door and other places to stop drafts.
It doesnt burn soft and easy to work
