I think I just need to try putting them together when everything has cooled off a bit and I can work on fitting them together a little more...
You open both doors at the same time? I'd think that would be like crossing the streams! [MEDIA] :D
When I've run 6 or 7 of them by themselves, they light up easily and then run the cat steadily until they're completely reduced to ash. The only...
First three days after hooking up my AS, I ran it with the ash pan and pan cover securely in place and couldn't figure out why the ash kept piling...
Wow, that's wild! I only had a very small pile of coals this time, but I'll definitely be more cautious about leaving that door open. In normal...
I'm lucky if the wife gets the dog and the kid out of the way! :-) Brick hearth can definitely handle the hot pan. I was thinking there's not a...
Thanks for the explanation and good advice! I'd actually tried to close the door after removing the pan, but with a hot pan full of ash in one...
This morning I raked the coals in my Woodstock AS into a small pile and took the ash pan out to empty it, leaving the pan door open. While I was...
I asked when I bought some with my Woodstock AS a few weeks ago, and they said it's Ventis, by Olympia Chimney Supply. At least the adjustable...

I'm thinking it's the weather too. Temps outside are warming back up this afternoon, and my STT is drifting down no matter where I set the air...
I'd definitely done it from a cold start, can't remember if I'd also tried it on a hot bed with only dry Canawick bricks or not. But last night...
Well I should be good for the next few months then. If it continues to struggle when the weather turns warm and wet, I'll talk to the chimney guys...
My firewood wood is definitely too wet, but I was having the same issues even with super-dry Canawick and Lewis bricks only. Something changed...
Something seemed to click for me last night, and I'm not sure if it's a little colder and dryer outside air or maybe that I've just crossed some...
Interesting! I've been struggling to get my new AS cat to really engage and was wondering if the key might be to go with even less air, to create...
I've got a 6" 22 gauge single-wall adjustable 90 degree elbow bent into an S-shape connecting the rear vent on the stove to the thimble on the...
Thanks, Savage! I've been hesitant to contact Woodstock until I can pick up some kiln dry wood to try out, as I know my current wood is...
Thanks for the tips, Qyota. I've been reluctant to try engaging the cat with the air wide open, because I thought I read something in the manual...
