Interesting. At one point I had three different valves here at the same time and they all had near identical bends.
It had some field testing I know about, but really have you watched how far it opens? That bimetallic strip bends pretty far and that air comes...
Take off the sides, sled, door, collar, lid, and firebrick (but note where they fit), and use one of those flat furniture dollys that is wide...
Any difference in air is insignificant given the surface area of the square that draws in the air. It opens pretty wide. I think the new flapper...
Yeah I didn't quite understand it since stove top temps were not very high. Stack temps were hotter than usual with the cat engaged. I do have...
I have the flames directly in front of the cat almost nightly. This was the first time they were hanging out entirely behind it. First time I...
Well this is a new one. Stove is full with the stovetop sitting at 550F. The only flames are rolling secondaries completly BEHIND the cat! It's...
I had the tertiary air in mind. I know it flows pretty well already but if there is room to get any more from it, I think that's where it is--...
Brian, I am looking to airflow as a way to get the cat hotter faster, and for longer.
I have found the probe thermometer I have 18 inches above the stove is already a good tool to time the cat engagement, and the stovetop...
I think we need to narrow down our use for the numbers we are measuring before figuring out which spot is important. For me, I want to get as...
I love this data. Do you have the stone side panels, and if so do you have a way to datalog those too?
Oh yeah! I forgot that I literally burned the red zone off the thermometer. Is that bad? :picard: I still really want to believe that was a...
last year someone made a video of the stove melting butter from 5 feet away. I thought that was pretty cool. I think my hottest burn over 800...
I went back through my logs from last year and I found several notes where I had it over 800 degrees above the door. One note read "well over 800...
I have 16 inch splits and either direction you can make a tight square to the top (in back) and then put one E/W on top at the front. When full,...
Brian, that is about as efficient as it gets.
Those are the places I have monitored the temps since last winter and that's about where I run it. You still have a safe cushion there too.
I KNEW it!
