I AM being friendly.:thumbs:
I do find it annoying that you are telling me I dont know how to run my stove especially since you dont have a EPA stove.
That's just not true what so ever, I dont choke my stove at all and never have, you would see that information in the thread.
I burnt a non cat non EPA stove for 30 years so I have an idea how they run . It just does not happen with the older stove in the same manner what...
Not sure what yank is saying but I think he's telling me I am full of crap.:D
Another quote from some one who does not have a clue.:headbang: "EPA certified stoves are more likely to have this problem. This is because of the...

I have posted this before but it bears repeating in this thread. From woodheat.org "Big coal beds are a particular problem with EPA certified...
Well for the old timers here and on H---th it is well documented, in a nut shell lack of heat and old stove was more user friendly. You should not...
-33 wind chill now, burning some red elm and white ash, should move some snow today, love Iowa winters.
Butcher-it looks like you are heating your house easier then I am. If could turn back time I would have never went with a EPA stove.
My dog stayed by the stove all last night. Just cant wait for the south westerly winds tonight with 20 below wind chills.:eek: -33 wind chill...
