The book says to do 3 or so small to moderate.breakin fires. My question is do I use just some good peces of kindling with paper for the first, as once it starts heating up it will eventually build up temp some with little in there I assume? Do I instead even on the first one add a couple of 2 or 3 inch sticks as well? Also do you folks usually leave the stove at 4 for a while before shutting down to say 2 or 1. I know about not using the combuster for all this. Any advice on experiences would be helpful. 75 out now, won't be doing these until we are home during some days off the next couple weeks as I never run anything much here steadil until after around oct 10 usually.
