Thanks for sharing, looks like you had a nice trip and visit. One of these days I'm going to hit the road to Woodstock.
It doesn't get hot at all around the fan as long as it's running so I just let it run 24/7.
That is pretty interesting. It's nice to hear a firewood guy using a moisture meter. When you say dealer do you mean seperate firewood dealer or...
I think my ceiling fan was actually creating a cooling effect, maybe it was too much even at a low setting.
I bought it off the internet years ago, don't remember exactly where. It's a Sand Hill doorway fan. $36 at Amazon.
I'll be looking forward to comparing our temps. I rarely get over 1100, it seems to cruise at 800-1000 for 3 hours on a full load then drop off to...
Something else to be aware of with Condar probes is they recently recalibrated and changed the dial face. The old probe was all black and read up...
Everything I've read or have been told about placement of a cat probe is to locate it 1/2-1" downstream of the cat exhaust stream. I've talked...
Oh, the end of the probe just hangs there half way between the cat frame and heat shield. So it sits right next to the exhaust stream.
So I was pretty satisfied with just using a ceiling fan at low speed in reverse which is pretty much centered in my house until I decided to put a...
I also found my probe was reading 75 degrees cool. I calibrated it at 500 with my Primo smoker/grill thermocouple. I wish I could find out if it's...
Nothing holds it in, it just rests on the edge of the flue collar. I used to have a bit of furnace cement to help hold it but found it was not...
I got my probe from WS and I have also contacted Condar about bending the probe and they told me you can bend it and it will still work but will...
What are your clearance issues?
Yes, I drilled a hole right above the flue collar through the 7" to 6" reducer then installed an 8" probe and put a couple bends in it til it sits...
How does this soaking effect the cat gasket? I think I would replace it, they are very fragile.
How old is your cat Fox? Looks like one of the old steel cats that had some problems. WS has a new and improved design and I'd bet they would swap...
Your talking internal temps correct? I would think 400-500 is a pretty low internal pipe temp, I don't know if I'd want to run much lower. I think...
Yeah I guess a pipe damper would accomplish the same thing but I kind a wonder why manufactures don't build something into their fire boxes to...
Can someone explain this secondary air damper plate to me? Does this only feed the cat or the fire box as well? Is it adjustable?
