The hearth I made for the IS is: Stapping (air gap)--> plywood--> thinset--> durarock--> thinset--> durarock-->thinset-->slate tile. It has...

Small world! If you ever need a hand processing/splitting let me know.
I'd take you up on getting some pictures of my stove being built except that my office is only 5 minutes from the factory.:thumbs:
After getting different fasteners my secondary plate was fine for the rest of the season.
I was a little careless and probably lost as much as I caught-- but tried to save what I could. I'd guess I pulled a quart out of the chimney...
I'll be sweeping mine this weekend if the rain holds off.
There's been a lot of attention to this part of the plate and tweaking the design. My stove got an updated set of fasteners and new plate...
My last fire was a couple weeks ago. I was burning one load every 24 hours or so and the house was getting too warm in the afternoons--- that and...
I don't know what the max temp will be. They may wait to tear down the beta stoves to see what they look like. WS did tell me to run it hard, so...
I've been running 3-4 pieces at a time, 2 to 3 times per 24 hours. It a little tricky to get the cat up to temp but once it shuts down it stays...
I didn't load the stove for -11F last night. It's just habit and I can't seem to force myself to load like it is January.
I try to kayak that route at least once a year.
They piggyback the telecom systems on the maple sap lines.
Right. All that stuff. P&H is the closest place to my house to grab food or gas. I'm due for a trip over there.
Stop in next time you are in the area.
I let it get a bit too hot before shutting it down (well over 600F) and ended up not being able to shut it down enough for a low medium burn....
My fireload for (another!) cold March night. This should run a medium burn until I refill at 6a (10 hours).
Another thing I started doing is leaving the door a little loose when the stove is not in service (summer). I don't have hard data but it must...
I haven't done it on a NC30 but typically it is straightforward. I use one of those metal brushes that look like a toothbrush to clean out the...
