New Stove

Been lurking for sometime and decided to post with new wood stove purchase
Have been heating the house with 2 stoves for the last 20 years. Cast Iron downstairs and a steel stove up.
Decided it was time to replace the upstairs stove after 15 years. With the stove having some size restraints,
hearth mounted in from of a stone fire place. Purchased a Hearthstone Homestead.
Basically the same size as the old stove, which has served us well, keeping us warm even in subzero temps. Chimney is lined with an insulated liner and the cap sits on top of the chimney above the peak. Had this for quite sometime and has worked awesome.
The dealer is 10 minutes from the house and has been taking care of all our stove needs since we moved in.
After install and chimney clean they did a draft test, everything looked good

Heating with pine and oak blocks from untreated railroad ties.
This is going to be quite the learning curve. Have done 2 break in fires, first with Fat wood.
Second added kindling and a small split. This thing is hard to keep going. My learning curve.
Any hints and or tips for the last break in and then the first official fire?

Thanks, my manual states the same. Just burned till warm to touch and shut down. Going to do 2 more just to be on the safe side.
I am sure once this is loaded things will be better.

Pictures attached 4th Break in Ready to go.

Thanks for the compliments. The house has been a labor of love for both my wife and I for sometime.
Will keep everyone updated when I can.

Wood has been split for sometime and is dry. Moisture Meter shows 9-10%.
After initial break in fires, loaded up the stove for the real test drive and worked better than I could have expected.
Within 1 hour or s,stove and house was warm as can be.
This Stove with a Normal Operation Temp of 450 degrees per manual, burned for 5-6 hours before needing to be reloaded.
Thank you for the reply
