-16 this morning, house temp dropped from 80 to 70 overnight. -10 for the high today so I will be burning through more wood than usual for the...
Similar forcast here as well. I'll be getting into my Black Locust stash for this arctic bomb!
I'm going through much less wood than last year but that's because I'm only burning one stove instead of two. 1.5 cord burned so far but my NG...
Yes, I see it quite often. Flames snuff out, cat temp rises to a certain point then ignite the fire box full of flame. One time I hit 1580 CT and...
Yeah, I don't know how it happens sometimes but it seems like all of a sudden the flame goes away and the cat takes over gorging itself and gets...
I remember hitting 750 with my Fireview with the draft at 0 one time, scared the crap out of me! Bypassed for awhile and engaged at a higher...
Something I found out a long time ago about these Woodstock stoves is they tend to keep a coal bed for a long time. During these colder temps you...
Thermocouple is probably most accurate, Auber instruments has a nice digital unit for wood stoves with alarms. [ATTACH]
Save that experimental wood for warmer days, you need the good stuff for this weather. I just ran into some less than optimal wood a few days...
Same here, filling every nook and cranny of my fire box and burning at #1 for the most part, maybe a little less for the overnight load.
I've been doing that since thanksgiving!
The cold is back, -18 this morning! I think I'm ready for Spring!
WS steel cats are made by Sud Chemie, I doubt they would have one for a King.
Strange that the center slipped out but it's not uncommon to see ceramic cats crack. They can be cracked and still work fine as long as they hold...
Gov is out of control, no common sense anymore!
Nice, wish I had a little more room for firewood like that. I can only hold a few days worth in my little firewood ring.
How long did it take you to get up to 600 before you engaged the cat? I've played around with mine and engaged at 500 a couple times and she lit...
That's pretty close to what I see, I usually go from 600 to 1200 in as fast as 5 minutes with an air setting at 1.5. This mornings reload I hit...
I think it took 3 or 4 days to receive mine after I ordered it. I'm pretty happy with it, very fast to react and accurate.
Well done, keep us posted on your temps.
