I use an NC30 in a detached shop, so when I run it is run as hard and hot as safely possible. The only thing I've damaged is the airwash plate...
The wife would accuse me of accidentally spilling my beer.
I know it's just an example but the numbers are so far off that it's misleading. The "cold weather" modern heat pumps can make 100% full rated...
Whoa on those little brick boosters! Once little move and that whole stove could topple. Am I seeing that right? One brick under ach leg and...
Here's mine. Yes, I have a hatchet there to cut the strings on the very many pieces that didn't come apart after being screwed. Mine was a...
A steeper roof and taller ceilings so I can have a taller chimney without stupid roof brackets. I have no interest in any "thermal mass". Once...
I had a PTO powered one until recently. I didn't have the balls to sell it. Afraid someone would die and I would somehow be at fault. I would...
Why on earth does the ash lip on the bk point down? The nc30, and I believe others, point up so as to collect ash. I own an nc30 and a princess....
I would recommend 1/8" material minimum. You can cut that with a jigsaw. Just use a metal cutting blade. Been running the nc30 pretty hard to...
My glass looks the same. A dark amber film from the bottom to the air wash. Weird. Usually I get the vee shape like a butt crack down the middle....
Wow, that's great. I still get a solid 20 when running empty, 12 when towing the tall rv, and 14-16 on my daily 8 mile commute. Not bad for a...
It's sign material. Definitely less than an eighth. It has a little wave in it now.
I wear slip on shoes, Romeos, most of the time. No shoes on the stove.
The deck gets really really hot without the blowers on. It will burn off the original paint regardless of the heat resistance of a top coat.
It would be great to attach a blower to the intake to get rid of those coals. I've burned lots of slash and setting a blower to blast air into...
Meh, it's just a big stove. My princess has more "belly" to hold coals than the NC30. Here's my NC30 full of coals.
When I said lowest possible setting I mean the lowest possible without cat stall. For my princess, that's the bottom end of the gold normal range...
She could suck seagulls off of a landfill!
I'm also in an insulated lukewarm shop. 10 feet of vertical single wall, then 9 feet of class A vertical four feet of which is above the roofline....
Thanks. In my climate the stat is 90% on the lowest possible setting. With each fuel load I burn it in at high setting until charred and then set...
