my summit is turned all the way down. i can see the secondary tubes blowing, i can also see the fire burning down from the baffle
however it seems like the fire is burning aggressively.. its not the mega fire you get when the air is wide open, but it is not the slow secondary wave like flames all over the place either like when the air is closed down. i am burning some dry wood but i don;t know what kind.. but its hardwood prolly oak or maple.. my stove was at 600 and a bed of coals so i filled her up for the night.
i put the wood in and shut her down .. the temp now is at 475
i think my stove might be getting to much air? checked my gasket and its the same... could my stove be cracked or is this normal when you don't let the wood char before shutting it down?
