How much ash are you guys talking about? It's hard for me to see right now since the stove is running continuously in this arctic blast :shiver:....
Can you do a quick test with a lit match around the door gasket before you open/touch the latch and while the stove is still burning hard? When...
I think Machria is correct. Last year I had a poor draft before extending the flue. I also tended to burn with the air damper fully closed. I had...
Yup as usual Dennis is accurate. We replaced the Fireview with the Progress and WOW was that a good decision. We now get quicker heat on...
:ups:
Todd Why do you think adjusting down in stages causes the higher peak temp compared with keeping the air open a while and then adjusting down...
Always really glad to help. Sites like this rescued me from almost making a really bad decision. I'm heating a 2300 sq ft colonial with tons of...
I agree with the 1/2 load, 8-10 hours with hardwood. I'm still playing with split size, but so far I'm not seeing a huge difference in burn time....
yup its a spinning fan. Looks kind of like the smaller speaker in the top left of the photo :loco: :crazy:. Funny how some can get away with...
We had the exact same problem with the Fireview heating 2300 sq ft so we replaced it with the Progress. That worked MUCH better, but we still...
Me too on both counts! The Progress is a great stove. Is that a speaker directly behind your stove? Sorry to hear about the cooper, that stinks....
Me too, way too many windows in a 2300 sq ft house for just the Progress. When it's below 20F the Palladian gets fired up and helps out. Running...
I must be missing something- how is the hinge a possible leak point? The hinges and hollow channel are both completely outside the door gasket....
I did not add the metal cap. It made no sense to me how it could possibly do anything - something about preventing a "chimney effect" at the...
The fireback is the stainless plate you are referring to. The reinforced one has an extra metal plate welded along it's edge where it used to...
Todd does that cover the Palladian as well? If so I'd be interested.
Yup, certainly finished our need for any more break-in fires. :faint:
Very true. I learned this the hard way while trying to explain over the phone to my wife, who was loading our Palladian with the draft fully...
Machria Was your stove rebuilt by WS with the reinforced fireback? Is your fireback separated/warped in the area of the blown secondary gasket?...
I just checked WS's website. The Progress add-on ash pan is $200 before shipping - probably not cheap to send to Michigan. I struggled with the...
