6AM - 2500 sq. foot farmhouse is 71F. Coal is still burning!
This morning I opened air full and waited for temp. to rise to 500F. Shook her down, and re-loaded. This is taking a while though (currently at 90 minutes), I am afraid to go to work until stove gets back up to 400F before I damper down. Currently at 325F.
Can I speed things up by opening air, waiting for temp to rise to 500F, and then re-load AND shake down at the same time?
