I'm new to the BK's but I am finding this to be true as well. It really shows in my stack temps during cruise as well, smaller hotter, bigger colder.
If you already have a probe thermometer installed on the chimney pipe you can pull the probe out and insert a tube. I use a section of old brake...
I've emptied once in a past month. 24/7 burning. I've been burning mostly barkless well seasoned ash. I am sure others will chime in.
It's amazing you can go half a season on anything that's been painted or new, accidentally run the stove too hard and your house is stunk up by...
I'm getting 12,16 and 24 hour burns with my princess in a very drafty old farm house.
I should note that I did have to replace the door gasket, it was lapped over the at the seam and had a slight smoke leak. It bothered me. Thanks...
Life has been good with the princess, running 12 hour loads when its real cold out and 24 hours when not so cold. i am amazed at the amount of...
Quick update: With the unseasonably warm temps, I've found it a piece of cake to hit 24 hour burns. Longest I have gotten is 28 hours before I...
I think your biggest indicator will be burn times, stack temps and stove top temps above anything else. I have my 4th stove on my flex liner...
I'm not surprised to see those numbers. I've measured .15-.20" when the wind is really cranking on higher burns in the cold weather. I...
yes if you look at it close, the second dot up is the 400 mark. You logically think the 400 mark is the separation line. I spun mine so that...
I wish the range was more defined on the fluegard. I double checked mine with a digital and loosed the nut up and spun it to match. I'd say it...
Have some spare stainless welding rod over here....
I'd suggest a probe thermometer. I just switched to ICC double wall and put a probe in it. Drill a 3/16" hole and a 1/4" hole on the outside and...
When I was at the factory, I took a hard look at the radiator. I didn't ask the question but I assumed it also acts as a a means to bringing the...
Follow up for anyone following this: I have a stainless steel t snout that I wanted to adapt to ICC double wall or Selkirk without having to...
Yes, I have had a t snout in the chimney for a number of years and have always run single wall. I'm upgrading to double wall pipe and hooking it...
Looks like a masonry adapter is the ticket to hooking up to a t-snout for double wall. I ditched Selkirk and picked up some ICC pipe.
I believe there was an updated radiator for the IS. The earlier ones were flaking and drooping down after some hard hours on it. I'd wait for...
Perfect for a fish house.
