The stove has been burning for about 2 hours, this is the 2nd load of wood and the 2nd load has been in there about 15-20 mins.
Which burn looks better?
Video 1: Air at 25% open
Video 2: Or air closed off
"25% open" looks like a hotter, more efficient burn to me. It has more constant flow flames from the secondaries than "closed off". Closed off has less flames all around the log, and the flames around the secondaries look like they're sporadically puffing and then going away, puffing and going away.
EDIT: Wood is dry Poplar
Thoughts?
