I can see that- to me those holes are part of the primary air system. I think the independent cat-air system supports the dark firebox because...
I wasn’t under the impression the PH has the tertiery intake. This is the bimetallic flapper valve that opens automatically.
I bet the tertiary air on the IS supports the dark firebox.
Frankly I’m amazed they fit an entire Toyota Tacoma inside the firebox.
I’m not a stove builder or engineer but that’s what I would do based on my experiences with this and other Steel stoves. It’s not out of the...
Thiese observations alone wouldn’t scare me. I’ve been on here preaching to check/replace door gaskets after each year. I needed a new one after...
I wouldn’t panic at this point. I had a pre production stove up there. Probably not quite that hot but getting close and I don’t believe there...
Thanks for the recommendation. I already picked up some crazy 4ft LED fixtures. The electric supply company told me I only needed 3 of them to...
Happy bday
It has to be at least 2 ft higher than any peak within 10 feet- so you have options as long as you add length.
Bu...bu...but eeeeking out that last 10% efficiency is where all the FUN IS! I watch my temps all the time. I could run the stove without them...
You can just toss the magnetic ones in your oven, set the temp, and see how it compares. I don’t know what Flatlander Pete has for sure, but he...
With a brand new stove you really can’t NOT light the cat. If you want to confirm it, put a magnetic thermometer on the front above the door and...
Are these probe thermometers or magnetic that last decades? I’d be really suspect of a probe thermometer that is so old- assuming more than...
It will probably be influenced most by the chimney location. Are you going through the roof or up an outside wall? If it is through the roof, you...
I just replaced mine after maybe 6 years. There was a definite coorelation between its calibration and the integrity of the probe. When you...
Yup. Sounds like you are getting it dialed in.
Just thinking out loud here- do you have a picture of your loaded stove? Is it full but with a lot of air space between splits? How small are...
Stop in on your way back if you’re not in a hurry.
That back wall looks great. Did you play a lot of Tetris?
