Hi all. Got a good long burn out of the stove last night, didn't get up till 9:30 am and stove was still maybe 250 with coals that restarted right quick. Very nice! Snow coming down like crazy and we are in the 20s, which is cooooold for us here. Very pleased with the stove!
So Pagey has shared a lot with me about his Endeavor but I still have a few questions if anyone is up for it. Stove seems pretty good running anywhere around 500 or up. Pagey says his cruises comfortably at around 650, I would say ours levels out a bit lower than that, maybe 600 though when we are really going good and steady. A few times we;ve seen the stove peak out at 700 or so, but brought it back down pretty quickly. On this stove, I assume that's not an overfire at all? Nothing glows red except occasionally the burn tubes in the middle, when the wood is stacked high in the firebox. Would an overfire consist of high temps for a sustained period of time? And well over 700 or ? What do you guys think who have this stove? I am confident that we have done OK so far but as we get used to the stove I want to make sure we are maintaining safe habits for the burn temps that will not damage the stove.
Further, I have questions about the blower. We don't have it attached with the little screws but it sits right there in position anyway. The sensor seems a bit odd though as it sometimes does not come on when it seems it ought to. Does the primary air control down there in the middle of the blower need to be pushed in for the blower to work right? It seems if that is pulled out at all it doesn't really come on. And the temps at which it comes on seem pretty inconsistent, I thought it said something about coming on at 575 but I know I have had it running sometimes lower than that.
All in all I am really happy with this stove. THanks in advance for any comments.
