Hey guys,
Quick question:
I purchased the 30 last winter and was using so so wood. That wood has now reasonably dried and the stove is performing much better than last year. I know that the best way to decrease creosote production is to build hotter/shorter fires. However, that is easy during the day. But at night, when loading up for the extended burn, I load the box up, get the whole thing going to about 650 and then turn down the air to a trickle. This makes it do that I usually have a small bed of coals come morning. My question is this--Is this practice of turning the air way down to make the load last through the night bad for creosote production? I also have 30 + feet of Class A running up the side of the house, which may also encourage the build up. Thanks.
