I have experimented on how long do I get real flames burn time because we need the radiation factor in here. I was disappointed after I realize that the maximum achieved was 2 hours on my T6.
I know it depend on various factors, here are some of the facts:
Before timing the flames burn time, I heated up the stove to 600* (top)
Added a full load on top of the burning coals
Let it crank for 15 minutes top temperature to 700*
Close completely air supply and made sure secondaries are ON
Time for the flames to die: roughly 2 hours
Note the after the 2 hours there were big chunk of glowing wood/coals
Also note that I used strictly dry wood, mainly sugar maple, cut and splited winter 2010
In order to get back the flames I had to open up air supply
Did some of you had experimented the same? Is it normal to get secondaries for such a short time?
