I have a Woodstock AS. This may be a stupid question, but I’m in the school of no question is stupid. I just went to clean out the ashes. Hot bed...
All good things to consider. But I think what was happening is I was just trying to run the stove like Tom from Woodstock told me, and I was...
And that was a good point you made, Oldhippie about how it’s shoulder season and the temps aren’t too cold outside, making a good draft difficult...
Thanks Oldhippie. That video was really helpful. Turns out I am getting temps on pipe and stove top very similar to you. That pipe temp you show...
I guess, what does the pipe damper/key damper do? When using it, the same amount of air goes into the stove. That would be controlled by the air...
Thank you Backwoods Savage. Could you remind me what kind of stove you have? Is it an AS? So far I’m finding that on a reload when I engage the...
The single wall pipe temp rises to 350 max, not 500. Don’t know what a catalyst temperature gauge is.
Sure. Single wall. Magnet thermometer.
Thanks everyone. I understand that every set up is different, and I need to continue to experiment. I am specifically interested in two things....
I have an Absolute Steel. It has to be one of the first ones they made. In my experience, Woodstock has EXCELLENT customer service. My stove has...
Well it didn’t make sense to me either when I experimented with it with my old set up. I even moved the pipe thermometer upstream more. As it...
Thanks for everyone’s input. I think I’m going to go back to the way I used to operate the stove, which is consistent with the manual. On reloads,...
If someone would be able to help me with some more specific advice, that would be great. Particularly on a reload. My instinct says that when I...
I've made some modifications this past summer and fall. I had my chimney lined with a preinsulated liner (outside chimney about 25 feet), and I...
Okay. Thanks.
I’m going to need to go out the back of the stove, down thru the floor into the basement, run along the bottom of the floor joists, then back up a...
I talked to my friend who is a contractor and am going to have him drill the hole into the basement. I can do the rest. He recommended using rigid...
I’m getting readings from 11% to 15%. I should measure the stuff Ive had seasoning outside for about a year and compare, but we’ve had so much...
In another recent thread, the subject of moisture content in my wood came up. Someone suggested using a second moisture meter because they...
It’s true. I didn’t want to put a hole in the hearth, and I was letting that guide my thinking. But, rile people up a little and play devil’s...
