With the exception of today (a high of +5), we'll be well below zero from xmas eve through next week (about a 10-day run). Lows in the next...
I have a little WiFi camera keeping an eye on the stove. This is the “night vision” setting.
IR shot. Cat is about 1350 in this photo. [IMG]
Nope, it's a "wide mesh"(at least 3/4" expanded steel) cap, and it's clear. Yeah, nothing on start up because I make top-down fires, so the...
Yep, it has a flip-down curtain that covers about 2" of the top of the opening.
^^ Yes, that's what I currently do. Helps a little, especially if there is active flame in the box. However, it does not eliminate the problem....
Howdy all, thanks for the replies. Double-wall pipe + chimney is about 24 feet, with a long-turn 90 (two 45's inline) above the stove, into a...
Another thought I had was to just make a sheetmetal "curtain" I could slip over the hole after opening the door. If the door hole is about 16" by...
OK, so BDF is the only person here with an inducer? You're obviously a fan (no pun intended) of the inducer, BDF, and thanks for the ideas on...
The smoke spillage on reload is getting me down. I'm interested in a draft inducer to solve the problem. However, I have double-wall pipe to the...
I just crack the ash pan door a bit. Not much, just move the handle to the right about 1/2 inch, and you get a slight gap around the gasket,...
Give it a squirt of graphite lubricant. Might cut down the friction enough to keep the pin down.
Didn't work for me. I have two supply vents on the basement ceiling, and thought the relatively cool air from the rest of the house would displace...
I have Selkirk DSP double-wall pipe connecting the stove to the chimney. I know a probe-type thermometer is suggested for this setup to check flue...
Don’t know, but it’s more than I expected. Mostly punky jackpine and some half-punky birch. I need to get into the woods soon if I’ll have...
It's beautiful! I like the unobtrusive and elegant installation. It's easy to go overboard with stone walls and elaborate layouts, when simpler...
Thanks! And here’s a shot of my new condar probe. Like you guys have never seen one! I used a round magnet with a 1/4” hole to secure the probe to...
Oh, something generic like “New Woodstock Ideal Steel installation” or, just remove the “poor draft” part. Or just leave it. I just didn’t want...
Howdy y'all - just here to provide an update. I really wish I could change the title of my thread, since the draft does not seem to be a problem...
Yikes! I've had mine up to ~500 STT recently, and I was shocked at the heat output. Can't imagine that feeling at 750!
