Lewisthepilgrim said:I added a couple more logs, pulled it back out to full open for about 10 min, then closed her back up to 50%. This is what it looks like now...
Are those flames still too big for the stove to start getting really hot?
No that's fine let her go a little while at where u have it now ...eventually you will see more flames ... Let all the wood burn a bit .. then ease her down .. with your wood you don't want to completely close it I would say half of what you have now ...

But this takes time to perfect and your setup is functional but not what we would like to see
