    Looks like you're good there, I wouldn't worry about the meter I don't think there's anything wrong with it, that meter is rated in the top 10 meters out there right now.
    Just burn what you have that is dry, keep practicing and add to your chimney when you can

    You take that back! I've had great luck with poplar, but yes, you do need to feed the stove more often. That's where cutting back the air asap comes into play. It keeps this peasant warm.:coldfire:

    I'm not sure that's accurate..... Perhaps we need to start a stuffy thread about it:rofl: :lol:
    I would argue with yooperdave first:whistle:
    But I would know better than to call him "wet" behind the ears, unless the discussion devolved to farwood.:hair::wacky:
