On this, I thought that you could actually get more heat from burning with a proper draft speed since the hot flue gases have more time in the stove to be exchanged to the stove. So a higher stove temp could be achieved and held with lower wood consumption. That high draft speed may be sucking the heat right away from the stove.
Sounds like the PH is the proper type of heater for such a large heat demand. Those brick chimneys look gigantic.
Maybe, but he reported his flue probe never gets above 500, so it's hard to say he's sending much heat up the flue. I think the extra draft just works like having the draft setting open more for those with normal drafts. Namely, more heat.
