Let's see some pics/videos of those beautiful ghost flames and secondaries. Here's one of ours from the other night.
It took me nearly an hour to upload that video with the speed of our internet here...and I don’t think I’ve embedded it properly either
That glowing cat is sipping wood...well...smoke...and in a Princess should be real easy on a wood pile. Seen a few of these burning (BKK). Mostly seen the cat glowing...if I could see it. Whether the glass is black or not, they just cruise along it seems. When the by-pass is engaged and the cat is working, does adjusting the bi-metallic control whether or not you see any additional flames? I know you will see them if the cat isn’t engaged. Just wasn’t sure how much control you had of seeing flames once cat is engaged. It’s a little different from adjusting air for a tube stove and the resulting flame show. I sure do love secondaries low and slow though.
my first and last attempt to get some dancing blues I think I have failed to my eye they look blue but not in the pic
It's ok, I still like it. Keep trying. The camera doesn't do it justice, I know. Ive had some indigo blue flames that were beautiful, but wouldn't show up in The pic.
Next time I will use a real camera not an Ipad camera. And shut the lights off in the living room and use a tripod. I must do this after my bride goes to bed so she doesn’t think I am bat snit crazy. edit: She already knows I am crazy. Crazy about burning wood.
This isn't quite a blue flame video, but it does show how the cat works. Installed a thermocoupler thru the back of the stove. It's a few inches away from the cat5, so the readings are the temps coming out 0f the cat. Works OK and lets me know what is going on inside.
