I just read the sticky " fine tuning Eko boiler" and proceeded to check my air settings. (I'm getting alot of orange to white flame from the nozzle). My primary sliders were set to 3/8 inch ( I thought OK) and then I screwed in my secondary disks, and screwed them out 2.5 from firm closed. (I also cleaned off a small cut off burr on the tube.) My question is how firm do you screw in the disks before you start counting turns. I turned them in firmly but maybe 1 full turn after you feel the initial touch. Is that to much.
After my adjustments I got a nice blue white with hint of orange I liked it. This morning 1 hr after starting new fire I was getting the orange fire ball again. The outside temp was about 25 deg colder this am than when it changed settings. My wood is 2 yr dry hardwoods, Fan speed 50% w/shutter opening at 40 to 50 % about 1.25 inch across the chord.
My gut tells me to much air, but which one.
My wood is all the same, I'd like to set it and forget it.
