I know that quad says to set flame height at 4 to 6 inches above burn pot with stove set on high. With my stove using 4 lbs per hour at 8000 btu's that would we 32,000 btu's, i can open my feed gate more but then the flame would be way to high.

What I am saying is that it is using 4 lb per hour and I could make it use more but the flame would be way higher then recommened. I am just wanting to get max but without over firing it.

I have the gate closed as far as it goes on the Santa Fe, burning Barefoot, and the flame's mostly around 4" but sometimes heading towards 6". That's after cleaning out the passages with the leaf blower trick yesterday. Before that I was getting a flame that was sometimes too high as well as not as hot (more towards red than white), despite that gate being closed so far. Running constantly for the last 6 hours since a refill from 0, looks like it's used 2/3rds to 3/4s of a bag, so in the 4-5 pounds an hour range.
