After a long overdue install, I buttoned up the stove and finally through some wood in.
I was very nervous at first but my nerves have come to a relaxing point, finally, hah.
The Tstat is set to go on at 68, it ussually settles between 68-72. I was amazed to see it reading 81, crazyness. The heat didnt come on for two days, that was until the fire burned out today. Sparked it back up when I got home and it seems to be burning well.
I have a few questions.
What are your routines? The experienced burners.
I know the firebox has a lot to do with burn times. Can a certain size peice of wood help for longer burn times in a smaller box? Rounds, knotty wood?
I also bought a damper for the flue, it was recommended by other burners to help control the burning.
Should there be a raging flame the whole time? Or, is it ok to have more of a settling flame/red hot embers glowing?
The stove I purchased is a Drolet Savanah. Its no Jotul but it suits us well
This forum is great, I've been trolling for a while for info, every time I need info, its here.
Thanks
