You guys are probably going to string me up for this, but my eyes have started to bleed from all the reading I've been doing.
I would like to know how long you can keep your 30 burning at, say 500 deg., and can you control the fire well enough with a full load to do that?
Since my old stove has been burning better, I find that that temp., and sometimes a little higher is just about optimal in the dead of winter.
However, I can't always keep the darn thing from hitting 700, even with the air closed. Mind you, this is not overfiring the stove, but it can get uncomfortably warm in the house.
I also remember reading that Brother Bart had done some "adjustment" to the secondary air to gain more control over the burn.
