Several months late, but I finally took some half-assed pictures today: [img] [img] [img]
If it's a secondary-only stove (no cat) so long as you keep the secondaries lit you're fine (even if there's no direct flame off the wood). If you...
Since I had my 562XP first, I was running 3/8" LGX on it. When I got the 550XP, I put a 3/8" sprocket on it so I could run the same chain as on...
We have a 550XP and a 562XP. The 562XP is NOTICEABLY more powerful, faster, and less likely to bog than the 550XP even though the 562XP is running...
I know a couple of you are running this logger: [img] If you are, I'd like you to do a little test for me. Once the stove is hot and all 4...
Since no one answered, I winged it. This places the probe in a small gap between the soapstone and the front/upper edge of the secondary baffle....
Does Backwoods have a famous history with milk crates?
My Ideal Steel has the legs at full extension and sits on top of a 1.5" tall hearth pad on top of a 6" tall riser. It's still too low. I would...
Those of you who are using thermocouple probes in the firebox itself, where did you put it? I've got 3 days in a row at 50F so the stove will be...
Thanks for mentioning the holiday code. Saved us $47.20, which is a big deal for us.
Yeah I've thought about that. The problem is that I didn't make any splits thin enough to actually fit into that space. Right now, I don't need...
As full as I could stuff the thing, but our average length is 15" and we're loaded N-S so we're missing 3" times the entire face area of the...
So a little shorter of heat than I thought when I actually got a look at the data. Looks like I got about 7 hours with the STT above 300F which...
I thought the softwoods burnt hotter but for a much shorter time? Good news is last night was hovering right at 20F and a 320-340 STT didn't...
We have two problems with opening a window: 1) we live next to an interstate so it's NOISY outisde :( 2) You let in cold air from outside, the...
1400sqf on the two main floors plus 800sqf of unfinished half-walk-out basement below. House has 5.5" of EPS, so about R-22 for the roof, walls,...
First of all, I don't actually know what it takes to be insurance approved. I'd assume UL listing, EPA certification, or something along those...
I actually already have the fanciest (non-rotating) cap and optional baffle ICC offers for their Excel chimney up there. I hope to avoid having to...
It's been really gusty here today for the first time. It's amazing how one gust will suck every trace of flame out of the firebox and then the...
I'm using Auber's washer-mount TCs for my STT.
