Thanks Brian. I just don’t want to upset anybody. This is a high performing stove.
Wasn’t there some other large part that was warping and causing a large gasket to leak? Like the whole top? The recent thread about replacing...
You should read the long IS threads. Seems there are some bits and pieces that aren’t up to the heat. Something called a radiator and a sled. None...
Great thread. I need more than an nc30 can produce but only have a 6” flue in the shop. So I’m selfishly listening.
On a 6” the IS seems to a great value. Only 3.2 cubic feet according to the manufacturer and Woodstock way overestimates the volume. It will feel...
The baffles are perfect, very worthwhile. The airflow across the stove top is now much more uniform so I know the hottest part of the stove top is...
Is the stove just so full of ash that the doghouse is totally buried?
That’s why I added a thermostatic control for my blower. I don’t want it running when the stove is cold.
Your fan isn’t doing much of anything except making noise. Not even a fan three times as big will be able to cool the stove. The furnace version...
So you blew through a load in three hours. That’s what I do when I’m trying for maximum output. A lot of heat goes up the stack and efficiency is...
In other words, can we just never replace it?
I should clarify, even though a ton of air is always flowing through a noncat, the secondary air is up above the fire so not necessarily feeding...
I think you have it backwards, the secondary hole is huge on the NC30. Then the doghouse holes also are each penny sized and wide open! The 6"...
I'm hoping that this is an emergency type repair to get through the season.
Reading this old thread and found the quote from woodheat.org (site has suspect info anyway) that controlling the intake air is better or more...
I wouldn't do it at all! Hopefully you got the stove for a significant discount as a defect.
Firewood burning for heat can be so cheap that buying manufactured fuel seems so very expensive. But if for some reason you could not burn your...
Like Chris said, you try to fill with gasket bunching or even a deeper silicone bed under the gasket. This is why you seat the gasket into the mud...
Yeah, I run the nc30 really hard. The tubes glow every load and I don’t even think of closing the air down until after passing 700. It’s been...
The stove body where the gasket seals is known for being less than flat. Set a 2’ level (as a straight edge) across the door opening, at the...
