1/3 Super Cedar, a full load of White Birch and 20 minutes later I engaged the cat at #2 and let her rip for about another 20 minutes. Pictures were at the 1 hour mark after I turned it down to #1. Looks like the cat temp settled down to about 1400 with a good glow on half the cat. Stove top still rising almost 600.
I like this cat probe, I lit off at 650 while the stove top was only about 150. She took off quickly with a nice glowing cat. Probably could of engaged sooner but waited for a little more flame and charring of the wood. Cat temp quickly rose to 1500 about 20 minutes after light off with a full cerry red glow then I started to turn the air down.
After 1 1/2 hours the stove top settled in at 550, cat probe 1250 and external pipe temp 240. Nice lazy floating flame, feels good to burn again.
