My stove will never burn that low, I can close the air down and still have plenty of active flames with good secondary action.
 
Nice video, thanks!

Mine will for about 2 minutes...then it's smolder city. Doesn't matter how dry the wood is, either.

Interesting - if we got the Leyden, my wife would still want to see the active flames. Can have for sure, at least with enough air, I'm taking it...
 
My Colonial must be garbage!

I think the 30' of chimney keeps mine burning strong. I still get good burn times that are clean so I'm ok with it.
 
This was a bit of fun I was having with real dry pallet wood. It burns so hot it’s scary!!! You can hit 650 – 700 easy in only 15-20 minutes!

3 months ago I installed my new Lopi Endeavor & was playing around to see what kind of control I had on the air.
Now I just mainly use this type of wood for starting the fire. I’m glad you all liked it.

Thanks!

Mine is the same as yours rdust. I think it has alot to do with the draft on the stove pipe. Dave.

WOODplay,
I have an Endeavor install it in 2003. What thermometer are you using. I have double-wall telescoping stove pipe. Dont want to use a probe as I could never get the holes in the two sections to line up after removal for cleaning. We clean from the bottom, that keeps me off the roof. I have two Rutland magnetic thermos that are 100 degrees or more apart when they sit side by side in the center of the cook top. Need something I can depend on. Locations on the cook top seem to vary greatly as well.
Hope others will jump in with their recommendations.
Thanks
Tom

This is what mine looks like with the air completely shut down.

It's decent but could be better with one more summer. I'm burning mostly white ash right now that was split December 09.

Yes I use the Inferno...

Why do you use two Thermometers?
Like my brother once said (The stove was made to burn so don't let it run your life just keep an eye on it every now and then.)
I try not to let a little temp differance bother me.
I only use the thermometer to have some idea of what it's doing.
Also I do not use a chiminey thermometer.

Thanks and good luck!

My wife thinks is weird that when my stove does that i park myself in front of it on all fours looking at it and shake my rump. if you could picture a dog wagging his tail, thats me in front of my stove. Am I the only one that does that, get excited when i see gasification?
