I'll post some pics and the long 2 year story tomorrow, but I just passed my inspection this morning. I fired up a few handfuls of kindling and 3 2 inch wide micro splits.
Got the stove up to 180 degrees on the top of the stone.
First impressions.... with fire
The air control makes a huge difference. My vista lever doesn't seem to do much of anything unless it is full on off or in the middle. With the Keystone, every little setting changes the intensity of the fire.
The little fire died out 3 hours ago and the stove top is currently at 150. I'm really shocked it has held that little amount of heat this long.
I'm a little overly excited about getting two more small fires in and then engaging the cat!
