By the powers vested in me by me I hereby certify T-Stew IS Long Burn [IMG]! :D
100% with wood when I am not away from the home, periodically testing the furnace, or lazy beyond my normal level of laziness :)
They should just replicate the tall andirons of the Fireview; they are the perfect protection for the front glass ... never understood short andirons.
I can get hardwood rounds from a local tree service for $100/load; each load being nearly 2 cord. I can easily split the wood with my SS with no...
My forever youthful thoughts agree with you ... my aging back and knees are screaming BS! :D
Went back to the bog to do some cutting. Cutting went well, but then I realized hauling the rounds out with the sled was going to be a lot harder...
I remember reading that thread. I think it was BrianK during beta testing of his IS. I feel your pain on that one; I do a lot of 3 and 4 piece...
Just a rough calculation of BTUs produced by the load - if the EPA stove numbers are anything like the vehicle mileage numbers, who knows what we...
Lot of BTUs in that load. 83 lbs @ 8600 BTU/lb ~ 7 14000 total BTU or ~ 30,000 BTU/hr if it goes 24 hours. That would be a lot of heat in my...
This is very useful information. My setup is almost identical to yours except I am at 28'. I've started running between 15 degrees above closed...
Have been waiting for a bog area behind my house to freeze solid enough to cut the trees/tops down in it. Thought it would be pretty firm by now,...
Can't see how introducing air to create a hotter fire to burn down coals could be the source of creosote. Can you post a picture? The only...
Where did the draft meter come from? Also, when you get a chance can you explain how you intend to use it in conjunction with the installed key...
How does your stove behave differently? I'm still trying to understand the impact. Clearly for my install I can run at a higher air setting and...
30 here going up to 35, 72 in the house burning black cherry and American elm. Have been experimenting with my key damper last couple days (28...
Not likely based on my research. Legs shorter than what the stove is tested for invalidates the certification. I too was hoping for the same...
We have hardly heard any beta results yet and already listed for sale ... that was fast. Was it this fast for the PH and IS releases?
Looking forward to seeing your results when you get the chance to do your testing. After seeing your early returns, I decided to do a bit of...
Probably should have said for the majority of installs, have no idea what height causes problems. And as far as that ape goes, I'm guessing that...
Wow. I always questioned the "no need for key damper with epa stove" mantra; perhaps it makes sense for those that have 25 feet or less, but I...
