Yes, the secondaries were less jetlike and more yellow. Dropped into the fuel more than shooting along the roof like usual. It was apparent that...
I tried blocking off some ports but I run my nc30 hard and I was worried that without a large flow of cooling air passing through the secondary...
Two elephants more: They measure for the trigger value of smog deep in the urban hell hole for worst case scenario and then ban burning across...
Believe it or not a lot of people claim to cool down their runaway hot noncat stoves by flinging open the loading door!
On my springer I found the heaviest pellet possible to stay below the speed of sound. Same energy but no sonic boom!
Your bk is designed to left at maximum setting on purpose. It automatically closes down the air when at the maximum safe temperature. So a little...
Hearthstone soapstone stoves have a much lower limit. I recall 550 or 600 for my heritage. At least they gave a number!
I like the door latch system on the nc30. It is simple, robust, and automatically adjusts to be “tight”. What more could you want?
You calibrate them by setting the zero. Leave it out of the flue overnight and set it to room temperature. Tighten the nut. Done. Or, the new one...
It is very rare to get a max temp in the manual. If you break your stove they will almost certainly say that you overfired it. It’s easier for...
No adjustments. Replace the gasket if you feel you’ve lost control. It’s a noncat and full of holes already, I would not worry about small door...
Are you certain that the doghouse hole is the blast hole? Or is it the air wash from above? I was under the impression that the doghouse was fed...
My ir meter was a gift and only goes up to 600. Since I run an nc30 that means it usually just reads “hot”. Get a higher range! I do use it on...
Next time you have them out for sweeping I would flip them so that they are cupped down. You don’t want them sticking up in the way of the flow....
I tried to take a pic.
As long as no external parts glow you’re in compliance with the manual right? I wonder if flipping the boards will cause them to straighten out?
My baffle boards have certainly bowed. In my case they only touch the front and back tubes, not the middle. Maybe a 3/16” clearance in the middle....
Whatever is cheapest. It won’t smell good no matter what
I was waiting for that kid to blow a hole into him point blank.
I really like the pedestal. So glad I didn’t put the legs on!
