If only I could do this at will

I loaded up the insert late last night after waking up and finding that the football game was indeed over.
There were only embers left and I put in the rod a little so there was some air available.
I woke up around 5:30 and as I'm laying there, all of a sudden I see some light reflected on the wall.
It was the stove! It had waited until 5:30 to burst into flame.
Now, if only I could program this.
It would be a set-back stove!

I think something similar happened to Soupy as well (snicker snicker).

I think I missed that game - who won?

I think I missed that game - who won?

i don't think it mattered to Velvetfoot!

I think it was the Jets.

Hey, it happened again!
I put in a big (for the 2700i) log last night and another big piece.
When I got up this morning, it was burning nicely.

A set-back wood stove...awesome!

If I follow what you were doing (loaded the stove w/ wood, left the air low, and it caught several hours later) That is NOT a recommended way to operate a stove.

I don't usually do that, but I was tired and didn't want to nurse it til it caught fire.

I'm guessing it smoldered most the night, till it finally lit off.

I have always said that these things burn backwards. Don't need the hot burn just before bedtime. Need it starting at two in the morning and when the temps get to their lowest just before sunup.

The log I put in there was pretty big.
Got a nice hot fire going quick in the AM.
