I'm using the coal rake that came with my fireplace set that I bought. Looks like this, but with a different handle: [IMG]
True. I am home all day, so I can manage the stoves as it is needed. As far as when others load, I have a main indoor storage area for pine and a...
I have my wood stacked in one large, long stack. Right side is pine, left is hardwood. Last year it wasn't as organized. Reworked it this last...
Last year when the temps dipped I went from burning pine to burning hardwood 24/7. And like many of you, when the temps dip and you are burning...
Not a big deal. It happens. The stove should be fine. Just don't do it all the time.
Currently 16 out. Burning pine during the day. Hardwood at night. Two of the three stoves are going. 16 outside, 80 (in some areas) inside.
The Defiant has been burning differently since I tightened up the front door latch. Loaded the stove at 11 PM. Reload at 9:30 AM with stove top...
I had this same fan setup when I had the Vigilant. The 30 has been in this fireplace the previous two winters. If I don't upgrade from the Defiant...
It will need some work. More space between the shield and the stove will be needed. Also, the top of the shield needs to extend above the stove...
Will do. I search the entire country, and I have come across a few several months ago. They disappear super quick during the winter.
And for my own greedy needs, an IS with a blower and its really affordable price (way cheaper than a BK in my area) Would make my life easier than...
I just threw a fan behind the Defiant propped up on bricks so the fan is level with the stove top. Can't believe I didn't do that until now....
A 3 CF Fireview would kick some serious azz.
Explain to me how you have this set up. The lack of blower on the Defiant is reducing its effectiveness.
Yep, I'll be keeping an eye on the 30 sale.
You need to stop fixing things that aren't broken, Dave. :)
Anyone try to hook up a blower to the Encore or the Defiant. If I can hook up a blower to the Defiant, I'd get a lot more heat exchange, which...
It is still frustrating to realize that BK has no plans on offering another stove that is the size of the King.
I do the same. But, it is a balancing act of relaoding at the right time and avoiding massive coal build up. Yup. So, now that your wife is a...
It was on the link that Dexter provided.
