You were right. After a while it just becomes second nature. My Jotel is now getting between 12 - 16 hours of burn time with red coals left over for refilling. Very impressive stove. I couldnt have been able to do it without the help from the people on this site.
My only other question would be, once the fire is going after a full reload, and youre about to lower the air to get secondaries, are their any repercussions on throwing in another log at this point?
I notice that at this point, the wood has burned down some, making room for more wood. maybe putting in a fresh log would lower the temp, causing more creosote?
Im thinking its not good to do so. Thoughts?
