Just finished my install, ...and have a couple questions on the (Oslo) stove. temps in general.
Running Temps:
Where are most placing the stovetop therm? ...and how much difference are you reading between the stovetop and flu?
Using both Condor therms, ...I have my stovetop in the left rear corner, ...and the flu pipe about 20" up from stovetop surface. Generally I read around 350-400 on the stovetop, ...500+/- in the pipe.
Resonant 'sound':
OK, ...so I have some hot coals in the stove, ...I throw in a few good logs, ...crack open the cleanout door to get it firing up a bit, ....definitely something only for the short term. Anyway, ... if I leave this door open for a minute or two, ...and let the fire roar (which it sure will), ...you begin to here this resonant, ...almost HHHHHMMMMMMMMMMMM. Now, ...I definitely don't run the stove like this, ...but I'm curious. Is this just the air flowing through the secondary burn tubes? ...because if you look up at them, ...you can clearly see the flames from the holes, ....looks like the tubes in a gas grill.
It doesn't do it all the time, but when it does, ...I can 'kill' the resonance sound (which I do) by simply shutting cleanout door. Once I get the fire cooking, ...all the doors are shut, ...and I adjust the air lever to where I want it.
I read a post on this forum where someone had a poor seal on the cleanout door, ...based on how this thing roars when that door is open (obviously plentiful air) if it did not seal when closed, ...OMG, ...I'm guessing the whole stove would glow.
Lastly, ... I've read (in this forum) of the "US" plate, ...and "Euro" plate...?? are there different air blockoff plates?
Thanks,
Kevin
