Wife and I got permits a year ago, just got around to getting our first gun.. Something she can shoot as well.. 22 LR Sig Sauer Mosquito [IMG]
Nice thing, with those 100% cat burns ,,,,, with draft fully closed and high temps,,, I know I'm not creosoting my chimney up....:)
When I talked to Jamie at Woodstock he wasn't concerned... Safe zone on the stove top temp says 700... I was reading kind of where the cat is...
The nice thing being in the 50's today, I found out I could load less would and have a nice low cat burn all day, stove drafting fine while warm...
Well my first burn with harder wood in the PH turned out to be 100% cat burn... I feel like I have an over sized Fireview ... The heat without the...
I think the reason I wasn't driven out,,,,, no secondaries blazing heat from the glass... It was actually a comfortable heat with just the cat...
Was above 550 for at least 3 hrs... No windows open... Just didn't have the Esse going and the back part of the house kept sucking up the heat......
Yes sir,,, 52 a good day to experiment,,, hey even had a good draft with the stove shut down 100%
Finally got though my very dead ash... Today I loaded some hard maple into the PH for the first time... Wow , hole different ball game... Mistake...
Yes around 2500...
I would have loved to have seen the burn time on a Fireview that was built to the size of the Steel stove... I think that would have been a 2 day...
Woodstock was gracious enough to hold the sale price for me on the PH when I traded my Fireview back in...and I had also bought my Fireview when...
I'd certainly buy another one..
Before having the Fireview and my Esse cookstove going, Fireview room would get to about 70-71.. Esse part of the house about 72.. Now with just...
That's what I'm seeing so far, lots of heat from the glass from my PH.. never a need to push these stoves... That speaks a long service life to...
I agree,, I set the air the exact same way... The wife would have a harder time running this stove then the Fireview because of those missing...
I took my rear heat shield off the back of my PH yesterday just to look at the three draft control plates that shut the air down.. Well the two...
It's going to be interesting to see if with that big glass front you actually need to get the Steel over 500... I'm thinking I won't need to go...
That was really good.. What a labor of love and talent! Something to be proud of... 100 years from now that will be a rare find...
I didn't want to mar the finish on the stove...so used my bare hand on the draft lever and my gloves of course to open the door... Now that Old...
