    Pellet stoves make huge gains and why does EU have the cool cars

    Even the lack of efficiency standards is not necessarily an argument for government regulation. There's nothing stopping a private organization from...

    What are YOUR usual temps? taking a poll

    I try to peak out around 650-750 and drift slowly downward to ~300 over 6-10 hrs or so depending on how full I load it up and whether or not it's...

    The Flame Challenge

    The video explains very nicely why blue flame without much yellow is a good indication that you are burning clean.

    can anyone id this wood?

    Whatever wood species they are, I don't see any reason not to burn them once seasoned.

    Advertised max burn times? Likelihood of achieving it?

    I might add that when I reload for an overnight burn I stuff the firebox as full as I can get it. I load right up to the secondary burn tubes....

    Advertised max burn times? Likelihood of achieving it?

    I guess 4-6" splits. Mostly Doug Fir cut split and stacked in early spring - so about 9 months dry. I know that's far short of the 2-3 yrs that...

    I have achieved up to 11hr burn times in my 2.4 cubic foot Hampton HI300 insert. I think Hampton advertises 8hr burn time for that model, and I can...

    A Progress Hybrid Long Burn

    I'm surprised that, reaching a 17.5hr burn with coals to spare, you are not eyeing the 24hr burn. Reduce to 1 load/day. Wouldn't that be nice? I...

    What's your "overnight" stove temp?

    I agree. When loading on a bed of hot coals (around 300F) my HI300 really tends to take off. I'm usually turning down the draft to 1/2 as soon as...
