This is about to get real interesting..... I really would love to see the internal concepts of this stove replicated with different exterior...
I have a cold air return near the bottom of my stove that is plumed into the plenum. When the furnace is not running it is drawing cold air and...
Good information, so when you say 10" split you are talking about ten inches at the widest part? (Bark Side) I am asking tough questions...
Hi guys and Gals, For all the lurkers, myself included possibly preparing for either stove, what is the best split size and length for each of...
Good info to know thanks!
So who is going to be the first one to do a modification to the ash pan adding the air valve vent? Makes total and perfect sense.....
I refer a lot of people to this forum that are new to wood burning and or stove shopping. I find it surprising how much education people need in...
Slower draft, build up of gasses and a perfect hot cat sitting up top to light off the off gassing bomb, and some wind to the equation and you...

Nice job on pushing that rock to the limits. I'm surprised your not getting some smoke spillage at 65 degrees. There isn't much of a...
I've built many things but a wood stove is not something I would trust my family with not to mention the lack of UL listing and insurance issues....
Last winter I was burning full loads of well seasoned Iron Wood during the high wind polar vortex, I was running 1700 on the back probe and a 600...
Hmm maybe 5 years ago? I bought it used, owner of the stove had no idea how to run it and ran it in bypass a few times and gave up. I fixed a...
On a side note it seems the IS guys have been washing the cat in a warm water bath. I know the "official" tech article called for using distilled...
Anywhere from 200 to 350 depending on the loading schedule. Ive seen the stock probe temp go as high as 1500-1600, there is an increase on the...
