I accomplished pretty much what you're talking about once last year for myself. It was pine that was kicking around here from many years back, super dry stuff. It may have partially been my fault on a hot reload, testing my stove air lever mod. I had the same results as you, insane fire in the box, and when throttled right back, it was still roiling pretty good, although the flame color changed IIRC, dark dark orange. It settled down in a bit but the stove glass (top half only) was virtually non see thru. My temperatures weren't extreme either, I'd rate it as a good hot fire.
When I burn all pine in my cat stove , even with good hot burn and fired off cats I see dark smoke out of chimney. I just think there is too much? I have a cat stove. Last year was like 2 years on the cats.
Maybe it is the cat stoves that have this problem. I have a EPA stove but it is non cat and never have seen what you guys are talking about.
Non cat stove here as well, PE Super 27 with the baffle for reburn. Its a high efficiency, low emission non cat stove. A little video would be gold about now eh?
Would you happen to have an explanation as to why very dry Pine would cause the glass to go black on hot stove. I sure as heck don't get it. I am with you wood is wood.
Maybe my wood was to dry when my pipe started glowing red on my old stove No, that was operator error
Any guesses on what to expect when I burn the few pieces of wood with woodchuck blood and brains dried on it
Not much BTUs there but the bugs and diseases are takin care of, cremation is all good, his soul will live on Coons, are the same
