With those stove top temps and the slow warmup it sounds like the wood may be still a little damp. Our big beast can get up to 400F stove top in about 20 minutes.

I was being super cautious with loading. I started with very small splits and didn't make any effort to accelerate the burn with repositioning or adding wood. I could have easily sped it up; I was happy to have it ramp up slowly this time.
Yes, for sure. I'm pleased so far with the stove. Definitely a different beast from the old VC Defiant.

Love reading the details. We had our first fire of the season last night! Went smooth and woke up warm!
