Welcome Tar12 I think both BK and Woodstock are great stoves. BK gets the nod when it comes to long slow burns with minimal fuss since they have a...
Today is a long burn. I loaded the stove up before I went to bed last night around 10pm with my first big load of Ecobricks this season. ~52 lbs...
Well it's already been said but I agree an insert is to retrofit an existing fireplace when one can't easily accommodate a freestanding stove. It...
That works better for a pellet stove where the BTU is steady but realize wood stove BTU vary a lot throughout the burn and dependent on wood like...
My house might not be 'toasty' warm, but survived this last cold spell - hit close to zero a couple days, with wind chill down in negative teens...
Ahh if it's a raised ranch I assume you have no real 'second floor' so not much to worry about... I think my problem was the addition was a...
I do have one. :salute: Didn't make much a difference in this drafty place though unfortunately. Actually being on the windward side of house now...
Originally I hooked up mine to the 5.5" liner I used with my woodstove. I had lot's of issues with the pellet stove the first year, that venting...
Are the 18' sections counted just as 1 floor? I never realized it but my 18' great room is counted as two story for living space even though no...
Hmm I'm very happy with how easily my IS restarts, Banoosh do you have this light amount of coals just after a typical overnight or are you only...
I almost ordered everything a few weeks ago, still debating, but kind of like you I fall back on the kiss and remembering I bought this unit to...
Welcome aboard, and wow that is a lot of pellet testing for just a few weeks. I'm still burning the same ones as the first ton I bought :DI did...
I had a flush insert, Jotul Rockland c550. Worked well and very nice looking. Right at the limit what would fit in my somewhat small fireplace....
Yeah, though my old stove could go the night, you had to pack it full to the gills right when you were ready for bed, and then have some coals...
I've never opened my door to burn down coals, if I need to burn them faster I open up the throttle to half or 3/4 open and just stir the coals up...
Yeah JA600L cat-only burn produces most of it's heat from the cat onto the stovetop, less so in the firebox, so once it's done offgassing probably...
Well for the record I tried overnight to pack er full of ash and go for a long burn, but it didn't go as well as I hoped. :emb: There was a bit to...
freeburn Not other than the key damper I mentioned I just installed a few days ago.
Just remember more wood doesn't have to mean higher temps, it can mean longer burn time at the same heat level. If you had secondaries going most...
Oh yeah just waiting on it getting a bit worse, I know they have the new one with SS shield but I didn't think mine was that bad. The warpage is...
