that made me chuckle. As for noise, the stove makes some pinging noises warming up (not much), but I never thought anything of it. Figured it...
So, she was brought back home a couple of weeks ago. I have not had the chimney cleaned yet, coming next week, but there is very little build up...
So does anyone talk about suppliers of cord wood on here? I am just curious, as my "usual" guy is already booking out to August for delivery and...
That last pic looks like there is more in there than there really was. That is the last row of bricks and there is not much left of them....
Then 12pm - Stove 350. Inside temp 75. Sorry no pic. Then 10am the following day (Sunday). Stove temp 300. Inside temp 70. Left for work.
Home from work at 6pm. Inside temp 77 stove 400-450
A couple hours later - front stove temp 750-800 top 550-600 - inside temp 75 air is already most of the way down. 10 am - gone to work (a...
So now that is is warmer out, just for fun, I wanted to see how long I could run the stove and keep the house warm. I stuffed the stove with 80lbs...
No blower for me. My stove is pretty much dead center in my post and beam house, so things stay pretty even, temp wise and I am not heating the...
Must be well insulated. I use 3-4 (along with propane as back up) and no where near those temps. Guess I have more tightening up to do.....
Savage- Curious. Off topic, and way to hot for me and my family, but how big is your house and how much wood to you use a year to keep in in the 80s.
Thanks Machria. Lifter - More heat out the front. - It sure feels like it. I wonder how much has to do with the bigger load, glass, dunno, but...
Could be. I didn't find that to be the case on my IR, as it's hotter spots are on top. But this IS puts a ton of heat out of the glass/door so...
So a couple days ago I placed my stove-top thermometer on the front of the stove, just above the door (the IS came with one, so I wasn't using my...
I would agree with the Mrs. If my stove is pretty hot and a hot bed of coals, yes I have thrown a smaller load on that with no issues (cat...
I was talking about smoke from the chimney. I believe Flamestead is also. Sounds others are seeing similar things as me. I haven't cleaned the...
Good point! Totally spaced that one. I have never had to do it before, so I forgot about that trick, but that is certainly worth a shot.
Mr & Mrs - So 10 minutes to engage the Cat? I know my wood isn't great, so maybe your wood is that much better. What was your stove temp before...
Not sure I can answer the cleaning question. So access from inside the stove to vacuum out what you cleaned. Going from memory, I would guess...
Not that anyone asked but here are some pics. I had actually slid the cover on the pan while it was still in the stove. I just slid it off again...
