It seems I really need to shut the stove down sooner but it also seems the risk of doing that smokes me out a bit until it gets up to optimum temp. No fun, especially with mild asthma. I have the two boost holes plugged with random screws that seem to at least cover the hole openings. I haven't filled the stove full because I fear a massive overfiring temp. But I'd also like to get the longer burns and to limit opening the door to just reloads that make those longer burns possible. Also can someone tell/show me a picture of what the Exhaust Deflector looks like on their stove? Is it visible? Because I can't seem to locate mine.
