Stove burning for several hours.
Its now night time... want to leave it unattended when I sleep.
Red hot coals on the bottom, no real visible flame coming from the wood..
..every few seconds i see a puff of flame up top which dances around and then disappears.
1. Is this the elusive Secondary Burn?![Eek! :eek: :eek:](/talk/styles/default/xenforo/smileys/bigsurprise.gif)
2. If they are.. are they supposed to happen continuously? or just show up occasionally?
3. Does the secondary burn only happen when you first start the fire/add wood? or is it a continual process during the entire burning stages. Should i even be expecting a secondary burn at night?
(In another thread someone else mentioned flames coming out of the holes in the baffle of the F-55 is the Secondary Burn.. but i dont see flames in those holes. just a whispy flame up top which only shows for a second then disappears and repeats)![Eek! :eek: :eek:](/talk/styles/default/xenforo/smileys/bigsurprise.gif)
