I am hoping someone can clarify why it is recommended to shut the air down in increments on a non-cat EPA stove.
I am starting to test out different methods with my Shelbourne. Last night I waited for the stove top to get to 500 degrees and I shut it right down to ~10% open and the secondaries immediately took over. When I shut it down in three steps I don't get this same experience. I think it makes some sense because I essentially created a vacuum forcing the burn tubes to supply the air.
Have others experimented with this? What am I missing?
