Very sensitive!
Yes. I heard the flapper (air inlet door) just close in that small movement and I think right there is the largest sensitivity.

It'll modulate around this point, one can heat the stove temp changing sometimes when the thermostat changes.
 
@NickW I don’t find a suitable

Load of red oak and one maple split this morning. 24 outside.

On a work trip yesterday so loaded stove before I left with oak and cherry. Furnace running when I got back at 7pm.

The Inglenook would be OK I think... Lots of different discussions about random things there.
 
I got home last night about 8 and dealt with the charcoal. I shoveled a 3 gallon bucket full of smokin hot goodness out. Damn near set myself on fire getting to the back of the box. Ran some small pine and then dropped in 2 6" splits of yellow pine. Man those guys gas out, cats were at 1500 in 15 minutes. About midnight loaded oak.

As hot as the remnants of the pine was it took me some time to calm the girl down. It's not often I'm happy to have a key damper but I was happy it was there last night.

Woke up this morning to a nice coal bed and tossed 2 more of the big yellow pine splits in and she is winding up nicely.

Waiting for the storm to land soon. They are calling over 12 on the peaks of our ridge. The ice line seems to be holding just south in N GA. With that and the temps coming up from 15 at midnight to 27 right now we may be seeing up for a real snow today.

Stay warm y'all
 
Currently 25 feels like 16 out. Was 69 in the house when I woke up . Loaded up with ash, maple and a little oak this morning. Nice to be able to just toss wood on and have it light with no kindling after 8+ hours.

Perfection this morning! 9 1/2 hours after loading next to no haze on the glass, 67 upstairs, 68 downstairs, nice coals but not too much. Firing up & burning down the coals a little bit, then I think I will go 3/4 hardwood load.
