I had my first burn in my new stove this weekend. Its a Bosca Spirit 550.
I have never burned a wood stove before - this is a new install in a new home, so I expect a lot of trial and error.
So far so good - the chimney (approx 30') drafts well - I think too well when its hot. I cannot turn it down for a low-n-slow after getting it up to temperature.
I will be looking to install a flue damper and to hook up my OAK, its plumbed in the wall I just need to connect it to the stove. I will also start taking some temps to see how its really burning. It is pretty neat when the secondary lights off....
