Found out how to get a nice light show with the stove.
I had a nice fire going at about 500 degrees f...maybe 2/3 full.
Good bed of coals under wood because of 24/7 running.
Cat about 2/3.
In experimentation with it I found that the intake air likes to close at about 2.
To get a good show you have to find where the temp setting is just before the intake closes.
On mine I can hear it click closed around 2. When I hear that I open back up just a hair.
Run the blower on low or a little faster to load the stove some.
Doing this I had a little flame coming off the wood,but the cat was making flames before the combuster ,dancing up and down and all around..lol.
Doing this my stove is around 550 or a little more at stove top next to cat gauge.
Putting out really nice heat.
If the show stops just open the air a little more till it starts again.
I don't think I'm abusing the stove doing it..least I hope not,all seems good.
In the next few days I'll get a vid..but right now real life is calling.
Need to change oil and tune up a few cars!
Has anybody else did this on purpose or just have your stove do it on it's own?
I'm sure they must but mine most of the time is just glowing..no flames.
Need colder weather!
