Hey, we're talkin' about upside down underwear here, Chris.Rick
Burn them stoves wide open and you will be talking about pucker holes in underwear.
The novel tank top is kind of in keeping with the earlier post:
"I’ll keep an open mind and try it both ways."
"I’ll keep an open mind and try it both ways."
When I shoot my keyboard off with my " I'm an old guy and know everything" attititude , I find it more gratifying to be showered with praise for my knowledge and insight.
However, I'll take the good advice as a good thing and I'm glad I posted because there may be others with the same idea as far as wide open burn in the new stoves.
None of the directions with new stove discuss this directly ( OK - I didn't really read them, but I bet if I did I wouldn't find this point being made) so this thread may save some "over fires"
Beanscoot- I'll keep an open mind on the underwear too -
but I'll try it as a shirt first.

Gerry, all of us old guys know everything, and we don't need no stinking directions. Problem is, the older I get the more I find that I actually know a whole lot less than back when I really did believe I knew everything. Guess I'm getting dumber. :lol: Forums like this sure do help, though. Rick

at least the guy in picture was smart enough to cut out the bad part of the underpants to make a neck hole. If not people would think he was a real SH_ _ Head

So it's the forum that's making you dumber?
The directions that came with my stove don't really give much attention to the operation, just the installation. If not for reading things on the interweb I wouldn't even know what secondary burn is.
Actually....I burn the way that Gerry described quite often, and haven't had any problems and the pipe stays clean as well. It's really not that hard to do, you just have to watch your thermometers-just like watching a speedometer on a car!
I don't think everyone is saying that the method of controlling the heat by managing the wood doesn't work, but that it's not as efficient since the wood gasses are mostly going up the flu instead of being burned.

I dunno ... that cottons gonna unravel <OH DO I HAVE AN ICON FOR THIS SPOT> ;-P
I wonder what they did then?
Gerry, one thing I have noticed here, is that one doesn't have to don a flame suit for being a BOLD poster. It's a wonderful thing :coolsmile:

Wow. I guess I don't have to worry. I'm 29 and I already know everything. :bug:
Fossil: “Aye...it’s drivin’ me nuts!” LOL I love that joke!

I'm sorry, Chris, but you can't get one, at least not any time soon. The technology is in its infancy and is proprietary and secret...but very promising for a future market. In simple terms, these systems suspend my steel stoves in very powerful toroidal magnetic fields to maintain the required minimum clearances to combustibles in all three dimensions...actually four dimensions when you take into consideration the fact that they operate perpetually. There's not much more I can tell you about these systems without violating my agreement with my partners in development, except that during the current phase of testing we've had to add some additional EMI shielding to other things in our house, like the microwave and the clocks and pretty much everything else, including the cats and the dog. We've been buying a whole lot of aluminum foil. But we're getting some of these bugs worked out. We're actively seeking venture capital funding to further our development of this exciting new technology. Rick

One more thing on those tank tops. I thought it was pretty stylish, so I cut one to wear around the yard. It didn't fit too well though. Maybe it was the boxers......
