This just blew my mind. Seriously. We have been cruising at ~650 on the front with the Woodstock thermometer as our high point. Are you telling me...
Once we engage the cat we are shutting it down to 1/4 open. This gives me a steady temp climb that allows us to choose our temp. We can be up to...
I have over loaded the stove on several occasions resulting in a stove too hot/full to load in the morning. During shoulder season I was loading...
I have found a pretty good rhythm. When I get home from work around 5:30pm I move all the coals left from the daytime burn to the front right and...
I experienced similar flames multiple times with the old flapper.
Re-faced the fireplace this summer and extended the hearth to make room for the IS.
I am doing the same thing for the 2nd day in a row. Fortunately my wife is home during the days and can tend the stove. She finds 2 smaller...
This will make my wife so happy.
I believe I am now the record holder for highest temperature recorded on the IS. With the thermo gun we hit 780 at the cat port. The rest of the...
I few of us have noted that the supplied thermometer is also consistently showing 50-100 degrees higher than actual stove top temperatures.
This thing is awesome. We had it pegged between 550-500 for about 6.5 hours today. Stove was still at 350 15 hours into a burn. It was 19 this...
Yesterday afternoon was glorious in NW Ohio. Sunny and 60. I couldn't sit at my desk any longer so I took a half day and worked on some of the...
Anyone seen this before? There's steady floating flames in the top of the firebox in the channel leading to the cat. Is this built up creosote...
Don't underestimate the value of air sealing. I used about 4 tubes and of silicone spent 4 hours going around our windows and dropped my air...
The key for me has been top down fires. I am using a few pieces of pallet wood and some kindling on top to get a quick, hot fire going. I will...
I am I am interested in the OAK details. I have been waiting to see if this feature would be made available
Nothing. The stove has been amazing.
I am at about 23 hours on the load of ash. Still lots of coals and cat is engaged.
Yes, I am geeking out over this stove. I was concerned of pushing much higher than 600 so I shut the air down completely. A red glow remained in...
This far the stove has been great in shoulder season: I can easily get bed and get 10 hours out of 3-4 splits and wake with the stove at 250 to...
