Yeah wife doesn’t really fully enjoy babysitting it and a 2 year old when I’m working but she loves being warm.

I couldn't get mine to work worth a darn without a pipe damper on it...I was pretty green back then though too...also burning wet wood.
Y'all know they make a new EPA version of the Wonderwood? My friend has one that he just put in 2 months back...says it works great!

I controlled the stove by the thermostat on the front. Full open to start the fire and then I turned it down to lower. You can safely fill the firebox to the top of the firebricks and then for the night, turn it down to low. I also learned if I opened the thermostat to high for a few seconds before I opened the loading door, almost no smoke will spill out. Firebricks on top of the stove to add mass, I did that too, I left a center aisle on top to find the happy medium between a stove with more mass and its heating ability.

I forgot to post the link for the new EPA Wonderwood https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/p...t-epa-certified-wood-burning-circulator-stove
On my old one, the intake door flapper would bounce all the time...made a lot of noise clang clang clang, especially when it was almost closed...really bad then. Anybody else's do this? (I figured its nature of the beast)

Our Resolute's thermostatic air control flapper would do the same thing. I tamed it by placing a small magnet on the damper. That made it close positively and not flap when almost closed.
All right so yesterday I went onto the roof to check how the condition of the chimney is, and to my surprise it’s fairly clean. Not large deposits or anything. Gave her a quick brush called her good. I have been getting roughly 6 hour burns (fire to nice coal bed). And then New Years happens, and the power goes out because we had HORRIBLE winds in Ohio, a tree fell on the lines up the road. So it’s the first and I have no power BUT I have heat.

Took all the time to update stove and couldn’t at least make the outside look more modern? Lol
Buy the fan that sits on top of the stove. It moves the air around but not strong enough to feel it. Powered by the heat from the stove. Just place it at the back of the stove and forget about it. About $80-100.
