Hello everyone,
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with me so far despite of my many newbie questions![Wink ;) ;)](/talk/styles/default/xenforo/smileys/wink.gif)
I have yet another subject that confuses me, probably because of the lack of knowledge:
Secondary burn/combustion in my Jutol (non-cat) insert.
I have that strip on the top back of the firebox, it has many holes on it, I know that part is the secondary combustion component, but I am unable to understand, when burning wood - when I have achieved secondary combustion or not (sure when I reach a good temp. The wood gases burn well and clean and no smoke is visible through the chimney, but anyway..)
I wanted to attach a short video shot of one burn (unfortunately unable to upload anything that is not a still photo) where I am sure I was not getting the secondary combustion to kick in, since the strip with the air holes in it was not active (one time I have had a good fire going on and I could see flames dancing around those holes..)
Can anyone try to explain to me, how can I identify that my firebox‘s secondary combustion is active? Any visual sight?
Any help will be much appreciated![Smile :) :)](/talk/styles/default/xenforo/smileys/grin.gif)
