According to infrared thermometer even when burning hot 450 to 550 the stove pipe near the ceiling is reading 160ish near the top of the stove pipe is 250ish
The wood was standing dead and has ccs for a little over a year.
Yes. I was reading here for months before i moved the chimney to its current location. And i wanted every thing to be correct. So i followed the information that i learned here.
15 2x2 Pines?? Even if they were wet, my tee would glowing in 30 min, I think. Somethin ain't right...If I left my door cracked for 30 minutes, we would have a serious situation!
It's a long way from ON to SE OK. Standing dead wood shouldn't punk too badly, but with Oak the sapwood can still punk on standing trees. Dead-standing Oak (dead several years) takes 2 yrs split and stacked here, and you can't split big or it's 3 yrs. Standing dead 10 yrs, maybe it would be getting dry in the trunk, after the sapwood rots off completely. Oak sapwood will absorb moisture if splits are left uncovered. Bring several splits inside, get them to room temp (not baking next to the stove,) then re-split and test.How long was the wood standing dead? In our area wood that was been standing for over a year starts to rot and the first few inches of the outer layer (not the bark) is next to worthless
Sounds like draft to me when you say that. How's the house? Well sealed, any substantial leaks in the ceiling/attic that could make the "house act as a better chimney than the chimney"? Outdoor air available? Tried cracking a window or door when getting it going?Unfortunately they dont sell any kind of pressed wood blocks within 100 miles of my area. But they do sell bags of kiln dried hickory blocks for wood smokers. As soon as i get my fiber board replaced ill try a bag of those.
Now of the things ive noticed 1 is the pine burns way better than the hardwood and 2nd the stove either has to be super hot or in the coal stage before i can open the door without smoke pouring out.
Ok. It pulled in two and a small piece fell outNo to cement board. Is the original simply broke into two or is it a disaster? If simply broke you can still use it. Just place it as close to "normal" as you can get it.

a bag of the kiln dried smoker wood. Is there anything else?
Ok.For a short term solution, I wouldn't be afraid of running that (with the broke board in place). Get your new board ordered up and replace when it comes in.
