Had just about the same experience tonight. Tried to make a little fire because the fires I've been making overheat the house. Seemed like it was...
A Raspberry Pi is basically your desktop computer from the mid-1990s condensed down to the size of a deck of cards and sold for $25. It runs a...
[MEDIA] That's the longest video I could make before the radiant heat started to burn my fingers. It's disappointing you can't see the perfect...
I'm using one on BDF's recommendation. 1) The unit will auto-power-off if it's not in logging mode. I don't know what the time-out interval is...
It's doing the coolest dammed thing right now. I stuffed it pretty full on a hot reload and have been working to get it to burn a little slower...
So the short summary for someone in their freshman year is that the only "risk" period is on the way up because, by the time the temps are coming...
The last two burns that have worked somewhat right have been lit between 40F and 45F. The problem is that the furnace starts needing to run about...
Oh, I also meant to ask, what would you guys consider the lowest cat probe temperature where the cat is still burning enough badness to protect...
Well, for all the fact that it doesn't spill smoke and sucks floating ash in the door, I think the answer may still be not quite enough draft....
Well, you all will have to wait for the continuation of my comedy circus until tomorrow, I think. I spent the day teaching someone how to use a...
It'll be about 50F when I light the stove and only drop another 5 degrees. That's about 10F warmer than last night, sadly.
I'll give it a go without the ash pan door tonight but, in the first 3 times I tried it that way, I was unable to get the flue temps over 400F...
Yes, cat bypass is fully open. Couldn't open the door to load it otherwise! At this point, I wouldn't blame you guys for asking me if I was...
You posted that too late for tonight as I had already lit it. Tonight went better than usual until I started trying to turn it down to cat-only...
The fire does light quick, at least compared to trying to make a traditional fire in an outdoor burn pit or in an indoor fireplace. So long as I...
I meant to call them today but I completely forgot. I'll try on Monday I guess.
The 10-2 rule didn't come into play. The roof is VERY shallow, just 1:12. Meeting the rule for projection above the roof deck already put me about...
1) 99% Ash, some cherry mixed in 2) From my property due to the EAB and storm damage 3) This bit has been stacked 18-20 months...
Yep, they're all top-down. I figured if that's the way Woodstock showed in the video, that's the way I'd do it. Is the cat supposed to only...
OK, I'll try to address all the things people have said, hopefully I won't miss any major points. 1) I live in southwestern Licking County, Ohio...
