Have had the same issue on start up. Much more of a struggle to start than the PH, but on the other hand, I've been able to get the stove up to...
Welcome to the site! Just stuck my measuring tape in the firebox, and it's 22" E-W, and 18" N-S. No problems loading, as the door is huge. My...
LOL Flamestead - I'm a bit of an absent-minded professor type, but I definitely open the bypass before cracking open the door. Even after a pint...
Thanks for the advice fire man. Closed down the air intake all the way when loading tonight. No smoke spilling out the back. Last night for one...
Most of my wood is too long to burn N-S unfortunately. Only have done two burns so far in it, my PH is keeping the house warm for now. I will note...
Interesting diagram. Hadn't seen that before. Thanks for sharing fire man. Given your tip about closing down the air intake, and Penny's advice...
You're being humble, I'll bet you use command line. :) Our IT guy has a few of us using linux now too. We've tried a few different flavors, I...
Should have known you were a Linux guy. Our IT guy at work is one too. You're hardcore. We're in good hands. :)
Great advice fire man. I'll close down the air intake next time I'm loading the stove when the fire is really going at a good clip. Didn't think I...
Got it - thanks Machria.
Talked to Penny at Woodstock, and she also mentioned keeping the draft open a bit to prevent a run away stove, and said what many mentioned in...
Was in the market for one of these so I just bought the one you recommended Razo. Thanks for posting, and for starting the thread Huntindog1.
Thanks for indulging me with my newbie questions. We have a 30 plus foot tall chimney, so that's not an issue with the draft. Some of these...
Yup, I'm like Dennis, I like it hot in the house. :) It was 82 last night in the front part where the stove is located, but doesn't get higher...
Hi Machria, Thanks for the helpful advice. I've read your other posts about the PH, and what you and others have said (including Charlie Wolz,...
Hi Dennis - glad to see you're back. Hope the hunting went well for you. I can see how giving the fire more air might seem counterintuitive at...
Thanks, great resource. This should help a great deal.
I would agree that the very dry elm was definitely a factor. I don't have a moisture meter, but the elm I put in there mixed with the cherry was...
Thanks for the advice guys. You're helping me ease the transition from being a young, dumb kid to a less dumb, middle aged guy. :whistle:
Thanks Boiler74. I'm using the gauge provided by Woodstock, which I've placed on the back part of the top of the stove, a few inches away from the...
