I finally got the first burn this morning on the Englander 13nci.
Got up to 325 on the on the corner of the door ( only place for the temp. reading on a insert).
Still had red coals after 6 hours with the air wide open for the last 4 hours.
Just used some punky willow and some good dry elm only 2 splits and some splitter trash.
Very happy with the first burn.
My Wife came in and said "is it always going to look like an inferno" ( had some good secondary burn going after only 10 min.)
Thanks to everyone on this site for the great advice in getting the 6in insulated liner and insert diy installed.
