Very nice! Is that SW pipe? I have double all the way so I fid t think my stove top magnet would work well. I put it center top. Yes! I have a lot to learn but love the stove.

How diid the paint off gassing go?

Creekheat · Jan 31, 2015

It was funny, three burn in firea produced very little smoke or smell but once I opened it up it went crazy lol smoke and smell all done now but it was bad for a couple hours at 500*

cybex · Jan 31, 2015

Oh ya, like begreen said, each peak, a litttle more

Creekheat · Jan 31, 2015

Wow that's on an F55?
My manual says 400-700* is temp range of I go over 700 am i damaging the stove?

Creekheat · Jan 31, 2015

I haven't got mine that hot yet. Maybe leave the AC open a little longer. I'm probably shutting it down too soon just because I'm new and overly cautious

cybex · Jan 31, 2015

Lol. Sorry. That thermometer is located in the middle. The corner unit topped at 625. That was highest temp thus far.

Creekheat · Jan 31, 2015

I keep mine in the middle. I've hit about 625*

Creekheat · Jan 31, 2015

Hot spot is right rear correct?

From what I have gathered here, right corner of the 'griddle'. Mine is in a shawdow, hence using the middle thermometer.

Well I had my F55 over 900 once (accidently) and no harm done. I don't plan on doing it again, but it's nice to know the stove can take the abuse if accidents happen.

Last load of the night....650* stove top. Good secondaries. Hickory and ash.
12 splits.

about 20% MC and seasoned about 1 1/2 years...My neighbors all laughed when I was collecting wood a year and a half ago with no stove but I think they get it now.

I like my wood 18% or less and it's tough to get Oak that dry in 2 yrs, especially if it was cut fresh, unless I split really small. I split medium and try to leave it 3 yrs. The splits ring like a bell when I knock 'em together.

<18 is good!

Enjoy that stove - it should be able to put out some serious heat when called upon.

It's official.
