I have been searching this site looking for info on running a smoke Dragon.
There is a lot of information about running the newer stoves but, not much on the older stoves.
Generally during the day. I build a good hot fire and put in a couple logs every hour or so.
1: Is this the right way for a smoke Dragon?
2:The main question is, what sizes,( large,, medium,, small, or mixed) pieces of wood do you use to load up for long burn, without burning your house down?
3: What are the biggest pieces of wood that you use 5,6,7,8 inches?
4: What do you start with, and already hot fire with a bed of coals?
5: Where do you set your air intake And your damper?
6: When it is loaded up for a long burn and running, what is the average temperature on the flue pipe?
I know there are some variables here, whether, wood, stove type, etc..
I did not grow up burning wood so, the only way I learn is from trial and error, or places like this . Great site.
