just picked up one of these off FB for $50 last weekend for my 24x24 shop, nice little stove, however i can't seem to really get it going hot, used dried hard wood and split it to almost kindling size then ran it with the damper full open. i could only get the chimney pipe up to 400* for a short time as it seems the damper isn't large enough to let a lot of air in. it mostly sat around 275/320* according to my magnet stick on thermometer placed about 3.5/4ft up the straight 6" single wall black pipe.
when i get home after work i plan on giving it a really good cleaning as maybe something is plugged or dirty still, did these stoves have an option for a blower? i saw a small hole in the bottom of the stove in back as we moved it but i didn't really look that hard as i needed heat last night so i got it in and going quick as i could.
