As you know I got rid of my NC30 to Hiram. And picked up a new floor model Super 27 for 650.00 from local dealer a few flaws in the paint but never has been burnt or lit 2009 year of manufacture. After burning this for a couple weeks I feel I have a good handle on the operation and strengths of this stove. First of all I lowered my Class A in the chase 7 feet to get rid of 10 feet of black pipe inside. It also will gave access to the chase to clean from the bottom a big plus having access to the T and to inspect pipe from my access door on my chase. Back to the stove all I can say is better control I think with my draft the unregulated air to the 30s secondary air system was causing me to burn though wood to fast. The super 27 controls all air through the air control effecting all equally. I am having no problem getting nice wispy flames and stable burns with this stove. I can lock in the temps and air flow to achieve long consistent burns with spotless glass. I have enclosed pics I'm still cleaning and painting the walls but boy am I happy I made the switch.

I'm glad things have settled down nicely for you. And super happy that you are running with a safer flue setup now.

Awesome! I am glad to hear you have been enjoying the new to you Super 27. I gotta say I have been thrilled with the T6 so far and it to has seemed very easy to regulate and keep a calm secondary combustion going strong. I put 2/3 of a load in my T6 last night at 7:30 and reloaded on a nice bed of coals at 7:30 this morning giving a nice 12 hour burn on less than a full load of wood. Enjoy the stove!

LOL....All I have to say is Oak and Elm.....At least you have some of that crazy looking hardwood that will give you a chance to experience the feeling in a few years :lol:
True. This winter when it gets cold I'll be burning locust and some cherry. I'm hoping to see some very nice long burns then. The madrona won't be seasoned until 2013 probably, but I'm looking forward to those fires.

Begreen: If you have Locust you should be good to go...Post some reports on how you like it 
ddown: What kind of burn times are you getting out of the T5 I have heard reports of long burns on that stove and I was just curious. One of these days it will get cold enough for me to pack the stove and while I'm not looking forward to the cold weather I am curious to see what this thing packed full and burning is like.

We don't cook too much on the stove. (That is what you were referring to of course?
)Had a damper but the NC30 has open holes which can't be easily regulated Brother Bart has legs so he could place I believe magnets over the holes behind front legs. If your using pedestal base you can't get to them. I get a easy 8 hr burn. With coals lasting 10-12 hrs

Regarding the locust. Besides the great heat and long burn. The most interesting thing I noticed was that the splits and rounds that I would load at night would maintain their shape, and when you open the door in the morning, start poking, and the ghostly splits would disappear to a very fine light ash. The ash was almost like softwood ashes, no clinkers or coals. Those observations might have been the affected by the "pot". :coolsmile:

If you haven't burned Locust before you'll love it.. Make sure you add it to a good bed of coals then sit back and bask in the heat, you will be hooked!

I burned a little last winter, but I wanted to let it season a bit more so I stuck mostly with the fir. Loved the blue flames.

Gotta say BG I can't imagine a stoveload of Locust in an Alderlea stove especially a T-6.. I burned a half load of Ash with a stick of Locust in the T-5 last night and it was 76 degrees when I went to bed and still 71 degrees at 7 AM with outside temps as low as 44 overnight.. The T-5 can really throw some heat! From what I see so far I think it will be able to heat my house better than my Large CDW did..

I bought my Super 27 just over a year ago and I couldn't be happier with it. I burned just over 3 cords in it and the chimney sweep barley got anything out of the chimney at all, less than a cup out of a 35+ ft chimney. I've got about 5 cords I plan to run through it this year. One thing to keep in mind is that it will handle higher temps of 700+ stove top for when you really need to pump out the heat.

We liked our Super 27 so much, we sold our coal stove and bought a second Super 27. When people ask about the stacks of firewood around our yard, I'm happy to tell them that we dismantled our 30 year old oil furnance and have never been warmer.albertj03 said:
