Same here. We have cat temp, stove top and flue thermocouple probes, and she has learned to run the stove based on these three inputs. Typically...
I replaced an old smoke dragon with the IS last winter. After one full year of burning, I couldn't be more pleased with the stove. It is not a...
I close my damper when the wind is blowing hard. If it is calm, closing the damper in the pipe is roughly equal to one notch on the control damper...
Probe may be off a bit, but these stoves will take off with the right wood and draft. My Condar probe would easily hit 1500 on a reload before I...
Use the output to operate a relay. Would just be a simple on/off type of setup.
Just did a quick search on eBay for "Condar 3-12-1" and 3 results popped up. Looks like one can be had for around $25-30.
I have the Condar 3-12-1 and a thermocouple probe. The Condar will fit into the threaded hole, but TC is a few thousandths larger. They will...
Condar makes one that will work. It's a 4" probe....can't remember the number (search forums for it). I installed a TC probe with PID digital...
Same here. It's been an adventure. You can watch the temps go up with every gust and drop back as the wind subsides. Stove and key damper both...
Very windy here today. Every gust is seen in the firebox. I installed a damper and I'm glad of it. It really smooths out the burn in gusty winds....
The cheapo PID controller from eBay is working pretty well. It has an option to allow it to function as a simple on/off unit instead of using the...
What do you monitor for cat engagement? The cat TC is a bit misleading on a cold startup due to the flames and the STT lags way behind on a cold...
Thanks Brian. I thought I could coax you out on this one. You pretty much validated what I thought was going on. Being an engineer I try to...
I have a digital dilemma. I replaced my Condar mechanical probe with a digital thermocouple probe (TC) for the cat. The TC is showing anywhere...
Gonna try one of these off of eBay [ATTACH]
I have the mechanical STT that came with the stove. Just debating whether or not I want to get a digital controller. I'm going to use a PID on...
I'm adding some digital instrumentation to my stove. After adding the mechanical cat probe, I found myself not looking at the stove top temp very...
My IS had to go down a flight of stairs. I stripped it down as far as I could (door, cat and sled, internal soapstone, side panels, lid). I...
:rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol:......I wish the locust I cut was that straight. It's always wind twisted and terrible to split.
You can install the IS exhaust collar upside down and get another 1.25-1.5" lower on the centerline. I think it will work, but the pipe will be...
